China targets ‘unwritten rules’ in new anti-corruption push

The Communist Party of China will crack down on “unwritten rules” that enable corruption, senior officials said Friday, deepening a long-running campaign to discipline officials. At a press conference, officials outlined key takeaways from the 20th Central Committee’s fifth plenum, which ended the day before. They stressed President Xi Jinping’s statement that corruption remains a serious challenge requiring sustained pressure and targeted action.
