The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the Communist Party’s secretive and powerful internal investigatory unit that has led the blitzkrieg of purges that have roiled high officials, petroleum bosses, and state-run company executives for the last two years, now says it is going to venture into the bowels of the Party’s apparatus itself.
In a short note on the CCDI’s website on March 31, the agency said, “In the last few days, the CCDI set up seven new inspections teams, to be stationed at the General Office, the Organization Department, the Propaganda Department, the United Front Work Department, the People’s National Congress, the General Office of the State Council, and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.”
