China Adopts New Discipline Resolution to Tighten Official Oversight

The Communist Party of China adopted a new discipline resolution on November 1, 2026, designed to tighten oversight of government officials and their families. The resolution mandates closer scrutiny of family finances and business links, specifically targeting wealth that does not align with an official's lawful earnings.

Anti-corruption enforcement will now specifically target digital and cross-border finance, including cryptocurrencies, blockchain, and proxy shareholdings. The resolution also requires party members to align with President Xi Jinping as the party's core. Promotion decisions will now be based on an official's party spirit, which the party will evaluate through conduct, social contacts, and family values.

President Xi Jinping stated that rigorous internal governance is essential for the party to maintain its character and convictions.
