Dear Editor,
The Chinese Commu-nist Party, in their ongoing efforts to stamp out corruption, has taken a decision to ban its members from membership of golf clubs or from playing golf. This was done in order to prevent party members from interacting with others who are perceived to be wealthy and could potentially influence them in politically immoral ways.
Party members and government officials are already prevented from engaging in highly conspicuous lifestyles and the hosting of extravagant social events at the expense of taxpayers.
Further, no gifts are to be accepted by public officials whether in cash or kind regardless of how modest they might be.
Several high ranking officials including senior party leaders have been sent to jail on corruption charges and for abuse of power.
The Communist Party of China must be given credit for the no-nonsense approach it is taking to minimise corruption in China.
Yours faithfully,
Hydar Ally
