Risk of corruption behind crackdown on those whose families have emigrated

The Guangdong provincial government said it has adjusted the posts of 866 "naked officials" - civil servants whose family members have migrated overseas - amid the ongoing anti-graft campaign.

Officials whose spouses have emigrated or those who don't have spouses but whose children have all left the country are deemed to be "naked officials" in the three-month-long probe, according to a statement released on Friday by the provincial government.
