State-owned enterprises under scrutiny

China has strengthened its anti-corruption campaign in State-owned enterprises. The investigation from the Party's Disciplinary Commission began after the Lunar New Year. Sources say task forces are looking into key state-owned giants, including the China National Grid, China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation and China Huaneng Group, the country's largest power producer.

Highlights:

• The probe into the state-owned sectors is a key part of government efforts in tackling vested interests and pursuing reforms.
