Trust, but verify 🇨🇳⚖️ China is strengthening control over the property, business and spending of officials and their relatives. Main measures: mandatory annual declaration not only of income, but also of real estate, shares, funds, insurance and commercial activity of spouses and children. Any candidate for promotion is obliged to undergo verification, and data from the declarations are cross-checked through digital platforms with real estate, tax and banking databases. «Hidden» schemes are being exposed: property registered in the names of relatives or front persons, understatement of apartment areas and foreign accounts. 👷🖥 Socialism is the power of the working people. State property and the budget must work for the people, and not for the enrichment of officials. For this, channels of public control are also being created in China: through a special digital platform, any citizen can complain about an official directly, and such appeals arrive in the millions. Today public control is being complemented by the modernization of state audit. The goal of the new measures is to close the loop of control from below and from above, so that the state serves the working people, and not the other way round. #SOVINTERN_WORLD #Hub_Asia ⭐️ Moscow Network Hub of SOVINTERN
