China’s top anti-graft authorities have warned government officials against using the “revolving door” between politics and business to seek illegal profits, highlighting the case of a senior disciplinary inspector in the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration who was punished for such acts.

Stressing the importance of self-discipline in preventing corruption, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) and National Supervisory Commission noted in an article (link in Chinese) published in their affiliated magazine that “the chain of interests surrounding the officials should be resolutely cut off.”
