Caixin Explains: Central Committee Discipline Inspection Teams

(Beijing) – Some of the most important tools the Communist Party is employing in its fight against corruption are little known “inspection teams" that have links to the 205-member Central Committee.

Very little has been reported on these teams in the past, especially in English. Caixin gathered enough information from the website of Central Discipline Inspection Commission (CDIC) and government documents to begin painting a picture of the history of these teams, who staffs them and how they operate.
