Government officials have faced extra scrutiny in a national crackdown on commercial bribery, according to a statement on the website of the Ministry of Supervision.
From November 2007 to June 2012, judicial and law enforcement authorities probed more than 81,000 commercial bribery cases involving a total of 22.2 billion yuan (about $3.6 billion), the statement said.
The crackdown has helped rebuild market credit and correct the practice of building businesses through gift-giving, the statement said.
