BEIJING, Jan. 20 (Xinhua) -- China's three new provincial supervisory commissions have all had their leaderships elected by local legislatures, marking key progress in the pilot supervision reform aimed at strengthening anti-graft efforts.
On Friday, local lawmakers elected Zhang Shuofu and Ren Zemin as directors of the supervisory commissions in Beijing and Zhejiang Province respectively, at the close of the annual session of local legislatures.
Earlier this week, Shanxi elected Ren Jianhua as the director of the supervisory commission of the coal-rich province. Deputy directors and members of the Shanxi commission were also appointed. The three provincial supervisory commission chiefs also head the local discipline watchdogs of the Communist Party of China (CPC).
Beijing, Shanxi and Zhejiang are the first three in the country to pilot the reform, which was endorsed by the country's top legislature in December.
The commissions integrate the supervision departments and corruption prevention bureaus, as well as the divisions for handling bribery, dereliction of duty and prevention of duty-related crimes under the people's procuratorates.
The Shanxi Provincial Supervisory Commission, which held its first meeting on Thursday, shared the same office building with the Shanxi discipline inspection commission of the CPC.
Shanxi shocked the country when a spate of corruption cases came to light. In 2017, seven provincial-level officials were put under investigation, along with hundreds of lower level officials. Its economy also faced difficulties amid restructuring, with its GDP growth estimated at about 4.5 percent last year, lower than most other provinces or regions.
