China’s corruption busters target science sector in research funds crackdown



Li Xi, head of the top anti-graft body, said the probe was intended to help the country’s hi-tech development, a key policy priority

He said this would require a focus on key risk areas, such as the evaluation process for research projects and the way funds were managed and granted. He added that the anti-corruption body must “resolutely crack down on corruption that abuses project management authority to accept bribes, or colludes to embezzle research funds”.

Li also called for new regulations to plug loopholes and improve the governance of the sector, as well as more daily supervision and guidance that would encourage officials to take the initiative.
