The Communist Party's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Ministry of Supervision launched a hotline yesterday that enables citizens to report corrupt activities in the public service.

The new toll-free hotline is supposed to replace and centralize the existing hotlines in provincial-level administrations.

By dialing 12388, anyone that can tell their stories which will be recorded by computer.

This week is also China's tenth annual 'Corruption Reporting Week' with this year's theme being "rely on people, focus on prevention and punishment".

Danwei has previously reported the death of a whistle blower Li Guofu. According to recent reports, Zhang Zhi'an, the government official who was suspected of being involved in the whistle-blower's death, has been suspended from office and is under investigation.
