Procuratorate improves system for whistle-blowing

China's top prosecution agency plans to pay up to Rmb200,000 (US$29,000) for providing information which leads to exposure of corruption. The agency will also provide more protection to whistleblowers.

The China Daily reported recently that those who provide useful tip-offs will be entitled to “10% of the value of the properties that are expropriated in graft cases”. If the case is particularly significant, a higher payout could be awarded with the approval of the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP).
