An official from the Organization Department of the Communist Party of China Central Committee was quoted by the newspaper, saying that officials have been dismissed from 173 of those positions, and the remaining 56 are undergoing removal procedures.

In total, party and government officials were found to hold 40,700 positions in businesses across the country.
