The disciplinary watchdog of the Communist Party of China (CPC) exposed 170 cases relating to breaches of the eight-point anti-bureaucracy and formalism guidelines from Aug. 25 to 31.
The cases were uncovered by discipline inspectors in 29 provincial-level regions, the CPC's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) said in a weekly report on its website on Sunday.
The violations included the use of public funds for high-end entertainment activities and tourism, private use of official cars, lavish spending at weddings and funerals, illegal subsistence and acceptance of festival gifts.
The website opened a new section for reporting public funds for moon cakes for the upcoming Mid-Autumn Festival.
The "eight-point" anti-bureaucracy and formalism rules were introduced by the CPC top leadership in December 2012. They ordered CPC officials to reduce pomp, ceremony, bureaucratic visits and meetings.
From Aug. 4 to 24, the website reported more than 454 violations.
