BEIJING, March 19 (Xinhua) -- The discipline watchdog of the Communist Party of China (CPC) on Tuesday named and shamed six local officials or institutions that violated the eight bureaucracy-busting guidelines announced by the central authorities late last year.
Officials involved in the cases have been stripped of their Party or administrative posts, according to a statement from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) of the CPC.
The CCDI said in the statement it will severely punish officials whose conducts have violated the guidelines.
CPC officials will be held accountable and return what they have unlawfully taken if they breach the guidelines, it noted.
The CCDI warned that officials should refrain from taking a wait-and-see attitude in implementing the guidelines and set examples for others to follow in observing them.
The discipline watchdog said it will "earnestly" work to ensure the implementation of the guidelines and promote the building of a long-term mechanism to improve their implementation.
Since the election of the new CPC leadership at a Party congress held in November, the CPC has launched high-profile campaigns to stamp out bureaucracy, formalism and lavish spending of public funds.
The "eight-point" bureaucracy and formalism-fighting guidelines were introduced by a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee in December. They asked CPC officials to reduce pomp, ceremony and bureaucratic visits and meetings.
