On May 20, the official Xinhua News Agency reports that the Chinese Communist Party leadership has warned members against misusing the funds for earthquake victim relief.
The Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee has ordered the Party's organization organs at all levels to quickly mobilize Party members and officials at the grassroots level to devote themselves to disaster relief.
As of Sunday, those working with the central government and Party departments and their affiliates in Beijing had donated 868 million yuan (about 124 million U.S. dollars) to the quake areas.
"The quake has been a practical and direct test of Party members, officials and the Party's organizations," Xi said.
Party organs should make comprehensive plans and take all factors -- including saving lives, providing materials, preventing epidemics and rebuilding -- into consideration, he said.
He Guoqiang, secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection of the CPC ( Chinese Communist Party), asked discipline organs at all levels to intensify supervision over the implementation of the Party's central deployment of disaster relief in quake-hit areas.
He urged discipline organs to make close watch to the storage and management of the fund and materials raised for quake relief and seriously punish any defalcation or embezzlement of the fund and materials.
