China punished 97,260 members of Communist Party of China (CPC) in 2006, amid a continuous campaign to fight graft and build a "clean" Party, the Party's discipline watchdog announced Tuesday.
Gan Yisheng, vice secretary of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), told a press conference that among the CPC members punished, 3,530 had been handed over to prosecutors, including seven officials at or above the governor and minister level.
Gan said over 80 percent of the officials punished were found disturbing public affairs administration, taking bribes, violating the Party's financial and economic rules, and dereliction of duty.
