BEIJING - China's ruling Communist Party has issued rules to further rein in the business activities of families of senior government officials, in its latest move to fight corruption, said the official Xinhua news agency on Sunday .
Officials' spouses and children must withdraw from their business activities or the officials themselves will have to step down from their current posts and"accept job adjustments", and face other forms of punishments, Xinhua said. The extended families of Communist Party cadres have become a key battleground in President Xi Jinping's war on corruption, which has punished thousands of officials since he came to power in late 2012.
