China's anti-corruption campaign is hitting scandalous new headlines after a shocking case involving student meal funds sparked nationwide outrage. A recent documentary revealed how a primary school logistics director in Jilin Province embezzled over ¥700,000 ($98,000) by skimming just 10-30 cents per meal over nine years. 💸 'Even small thefts harm public trust,' one netizen wrote, echoing widespread frustration.
The scandal fueled over 38,000 corruption investigations in education, healthcare, and rural projects last year, with 23,000 individuals punished. Authorities are now expanding crackdowns to sectors like sports ⚽ and funeral services, uncovering high-profile cases involving sports officials and medical professionals.
Key results so far:
Medical insurance recovered ¥24.2 billion in misused funds
Hospital treatment costs dropped 5.7% since 2022
One-year campaign launched to clean up funeral industry practices
As China's 'Two Supremes' (SPC and SPP) prioritize民生 (people's livelihoods) in 2025 reports, expect more action on hot-button issues like elderly care and rural revitalization funds. 🔍 Corruption might be timeless, but these tracking systems aren't messing around.
