China's newly-founded National Bureau of Corruption Prevention (NBCP) launched its official website on Tuesday.

The public can now post notes at the website (yfj.mos.gov.cn) or write e-mails (yfjzhc@mos.gov.cn) and leave information and opinions on the body's work.

The website also publicizes the NBCP policies, events and lists anti-corruption news from both home and abroad.

The NBCP was officially established on September 13 with Ma Wen, the Minister of Supervision, as its head.

The bureau was founded at a time when the country has seen many corruption scandals that have brought down a number of high-level officials, most notably former food and drug administration head Zhen Xiaoyu and former Shanghai Party head Chen Liangyu.

The NBCP planned to study methods to constantly improve corruption prevention systems, push for the sound operation of these systems and to coordinate the corruption prevention efforts of various departments, Ma said on September 13 when the NBCP was launched.

The bureau has been entrusted to collect and analyze information from such sectors as banking, land use, medicine and telecom, among others, and to share it with relevant departments. These included prosecuting organs, courts and police authorities, among others. It would not, however, be involved in the investigation of individual cases.
