BEIJING, Nov 1 (Reuters) – China’s ruling Communist Party has adopted ​measures aimed ‌at tightening internal discipline, including stronger education about loyalty to the ‌ruling ​party and ⁠closer oversight of ⁠officials, official Xinhua news agency reported on Sunday.

The decision calls ​for expanded study of party ⁠and national ⁠history, enhanced monitoring ​of cadres throughout ​their careers and stricter scrutiny ‌of officials’ personal disclosures.

Authorities will verify cases in ⁠which family assets and spending appear to exceed normal ⁠income, ‌while strengthening ⁠routine oversight of ​business ‌activities involving senior ​officials’ spouses, ⁠children and children’s spouses, the report said.
