China party warns against "pomp" as it tightens rules in graft fight

BEIJING (Reuters) - China's ruling Communist Party has issued new rules to push its fight against deeply entrenched corruption, telling senior officials to travel "without pomp", not to have too many staff and not take too many holidays.

President Xi Jinping has waged war against graft since assuming office four years ago, warning, like others before him, that the problem is so severe it could weaken the party's grip on power.
