BEIJING (AP) - China's top court closed loopholes for bribing officials, issuing rules to stem rampant graft that threatens to undermine the Communist Party's grip on power.
The court and top prosecutor jointly issued the rules Sunday in an effort to "catch up with the tricks of wily, corrupt officials," the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
The rules widen the definition of bribery to include money, gifts or favors given to the family members or proxies of officials, or to officials after they retire.
