Seventy percent of a sample population say that they are satisfied with the progress of the government's crackdown on graft and corruption in the country.
According to a recent report from the China Youth Daily, more than 2,000 respondents said that they are pleased with the development of the campaign which saw the downfall of certain high-ranking officials deemed as "big tigers" as well as their cronies described as the "lowly flies" of corruption.
The Chinese government under President Xi Jinping's leadership also had corrupt officials who fled abroad followed and put to justice, which had earned approval among the majority of the survey's respondents.
However, 82.3 percent of the responding populace, who came from both the private and state-owned agencies, believed that China's anti-graft campaign could still be considered a grave issue in the country and that challenges may still pend graft's eradication.
Respondents of the survey also deemed efforts to bring down corrupt officials as well as hunting those who fled the country to escape justice as some of the anti-graft moves that they would be looking forward to.
Last year, some senior officials--even those who were members of the Communist Party of China--had been ousted from office and stripped off of their privileges as members of the ruling CPC through "expulsion."
Among these are former military leader Xu Caihou, former state leader Zhou Yongkang, past senior political advisors Ling Jihua and Su Rong, as well as some of their staff who had been proven to have enjoyed luxuries from graft and corruption money.
