China's Communist Party tightens oversight of officials

BEIJING, Nov ‌1 (Reuters) - China's ruling Communist Party has ​adopted ‌measures aimed at tightening ‌internal discipline, including stronger education about ‌loyalty to the ruling party and closer oversight of officials, official Xinhua ⁠news agency reported ‌on Sunday.

The decision ⁠calls for expanded study ​of party and national history, enhanced monitoring ​of cadres throughout ​their ‌careers and stricter scrutiny ​of officials' ⁠personal disclosures.

Authorities will ‌verify cases in ​which ​family assets and spending appear to exceed normal income, while strengthening routine ‌oversight of business activities involving senior ‌officials' ​spouses, children and children's spouses, the report said.
