The cases were uncovered by discipline inspectors in 29 provincial-level regions, the CPC's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) said in a weekly report on its website on Sunday.
The violations included the use of public funds for high-end entertainment activities and tourism, private use of official cars, lavish spending at weddings and funerals, illegal subsistence and acceptance of festival gifts.
