BEIJING, April 23 -- China will crack down on undesirable work styles and corruption for local departments and leadership, a deputy head of the country's anti-graft authority said on Thursday.

The CCDI will deal with corrupt officials that harm the interest of the public in land expropriation and transfer, rural funds and resources management, poverty relief and medical care, Huang Shuxian, deputy head of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) of the Communist Party of China, said.

Officials who take illegal charges and kickbacks during law enforcement and public services will be punished, Huang said.

Local-level Party groups and discipline inspection authorities should take responsibility for supervision and will receive severe punishment if they neglect duty or cover up misconduct.

As of March 2015, 82,693 cases of anti-graft rule violations have been uncovered, according to figures on the CCDI's website. A total of 109,047 people involved have been punished, 35,456 of whom have been given Party or administrative punishment.

China began a campaign in late 2012, aiming to clean up four undesirable work styles -- formalism, bureaucracy, hedonism and extravagance.
