More than 54,000 Chinese officials were investigated by prosecutors for bribery, dereliction of duty, and other duty-related crimes in 2015.

The number was revealed by Wang Qishan, chief of the country's top graft buster, on Sunday.

At a plenary meeting of the ruling Party's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, Wang vowed to further tighten anti-corruption regulations in 2016.

He said an intra-party supervision regulation, which was formulated in 2003, should be revised.

The administrative supervision law, which monitors government officials, will also be revised.

The new disciplinary regulation, which even lists playing golf as a violation, is deemed to be the strictest in party history.

Wang Qishan also said China must strengthen its law enforcement cooperation with the US, Canada, Australia, and Europe in the fight against corruption.

He called for greater efforts to pursue corrupt fugitives and recover stolen assets
