Senior Party Officials Indicted for Corruption Appear in New TV Show

(Beijing) — More than a dozen senior Communist Party officials indicted for corruption have appeared in a new show on state-run China Central Television (CCTV) to offer personal accounts of their crimes.

The eight-part documentary, co-produced by the state broadcaster and the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the nation's top anti-graft watchdog, came a week before the ruling Communist Party's Central Committee is to convene for a key session.
