The top discipline agency of the Communist Party of China said on Friday it received 917 tip-offs about official decadence during the Mid-Autumn Festival and the National Day Holiday.

In a statement on its website, the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection vowed swift handling of the tip-offs, 801 of which were submitted online and 116 via mail. The commission said violators would be "severely" punished.

The suspected violations included use of public funds for gift-giving, dining and travel unrelated to official duties, expensive recreational activities, violations of official car use and handing out unnecessary bonuses, the statement said.
