"Putting information about government operations, and government and Party officials in the public domain to make it more transparent will be an effective way to prevent and limit corruption," Mei said.

According to Mei, the municipal government sent representatives to visit the bordering Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions this month to learn about their successful anti-graft experiences and to expand cooperation in this field.

Hengqin new area, adjacent to Macao, has also established a special anti-corruption office with officials and experts from the local Party commission of discipline inspection and the departments of supervision, public security, taxation, industry and commerce to help introduce the pilot project and fight corruption in the following months.

Many senior officials in Guangdong have favored disclosing assets.

Chen Jianhua, mayor of Guangzhou, Xu Qin, mayor of Shenzhen, and Liu Yuelun, mayor of Foshan, have all expressed their willingness to disclose their assets if such a system is introduced.

Xiao Bin, a professor at Sun Yat-sen University in Guangzhou, said introducing the pilot project demonstrates authorities' determination to establish a system to prevent and fight corruption.

Guangdong's top anti-graft body investigated 38 corruption cases, involving 38 prefecture-level officials in 2012.

Zhou Zhenhong, a former member of the Standing Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China, and head of the province's united front work department, was removed from his posts for serious violations of Party discipline and State laws at the beginning of 2012.
