Disciplinary officials in State-owned enterprises will be required to focus more on anti-graft work as the number of SOE corruption cases rises, according to China's top SOE regulator.
Qiang Weidong, secretary of the disciplinary commission with the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of the State Council, said the supervision of SOEs will be enhanced to keep a close eye on the State-owned assets.
All SOEs have a position of disciplinary secretary, but many disciplinary chiefs have multiple duties, including some unrelated to anti-corruption work, Qiang told China Discipline Inspection Daily.
The disciplinary officials will no longer have duties unrelated to anti-graft work from May 1, and they will attach greater importance to supervision, he said.
A large number of senior SOE managers have been investigated on corruption allegations since last year.
In a recent case, an investigation of Yan Cunzhang, general manager of the international department of China National Petroleum Corp, the country's largest oil and gas producer and supplier, began on Saturday.
