英语文摘:China issues first anti-corruption white paper, pledging firmer actions

"In China, the channel is unimpeded for citizens to be involved in the combat against corruption by means of impeaching and lodging lawsuit," the report said.

China's governments have departments to handle letters and calls of complaints and suggestions from the people.

In addition, discipline inspection organs of the CPC, procuratorates, and government supervisory and audit departments have all established tip-off systems with hotlines and websites.

The report also noted that the Internet has become a new form of supervision by the public.

"China highly values the positive role played by the Internet in enhancing supervision," the report said.

The country has worked hard to collect, research and manage the anti-graft information it has obtained from the Internet, it said.

Prof. Wang Wei at the Chinese Academy of Governance said what is behind the hotlines and Internet supervision was the government's growing willingness to take onboard public comment and criticism and the public's increasing awareness of their role in combating corruption.
