Membership gifts have been used to avoid detection of bribery
China's top anti-graft official Wang Qishan on Monday urged disciplinary and supervisory staff to return all membership cards gifted by others.
The chief of the Party's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said during a videophone meeting that the campaign aims to send a signal to the Party and society that anti-graft officials are taking real action to improve their working style as required by the new leadership in December.
The country's top leaders have required officials to reduce meetings, condense paperwork, minimize traffic disruption during official visits and exercise frugality.
Wang is asking anti-corruption officials to return before June 20 all kinds of membership cards they have received as gifts.
"Although membership cards are small objects, they reflect a big problem in working style," he said.
Wang said the campaign is a concrete measure for anti-graft officials to "purify" themselves.
"It's a must, and it's doable," he said. "Disciplinary officials should make themselves upright and honest before they ask others to do so."

Scary, eh? And about those “ghost cities.” Who would be ignorant enough to avoid knowing what China will do with those in the near future? They’ll be filled.
“The country’s top leaders have required officials to reduce meetings, condense paperwork, minimize traffic disruption during official visits and exercise frugality.”
I know that they are just words, but I never thought that I would be envious of China’s policies as decreed by Mr. Wang. Instead we have a prick.
We need this kind of reform in the U.S.
