Shanghai has banned close family members of senior officials from running business.
According to a new regulation issued by the party committee of Shanghai, spouses of the city&`&s leading officials are not allowed to run companies or do business, nor can their children or the spouses of their children do business in the city.
The ban also applies to senior officials including heads of city departments, district and county governments, courts, the public security bureau and state-owned companies.
The officials must hand in reports on the jobs of their spouses and children, and publicize this information inside the party. Punishment will be given to those who fail to comply.
Family members who are already engaged in business must quit, or the officials will be removed from their posts.
China has been making efforts to institutionalize its anti-graft drive. In March, top legislator Zhang Dejiang said the country was planning national legislation to fight corruption.
The new law is expected to set clear codes of conduct for Chinese officials to prevent them from becoming corrupt. Legal experts say Shanghai&`&s regulations may be a stepping stone for such bans nationwide.

The international police agency Interpol says it is important for countries to work cooperatively to fight crime such as corruption, because crime does not respect borders.
Interpol&`&s National Central Bureau of China has released a list of 100 people wanted for corruption.
The move is part of "Sky Net", a Chinese campaign to repatriate corruption suspects and also a strong signal of China&`&s endeavor to fight corruption via global cooperation.
James Anderson, assistant director for Anti-corruption and Financial Crime at Interpol, says law enforcement agencies should work closely because the world is more connected today.
He says everything is interconnected through the Internet, so it&`&s very important for law enforcement to stay connected.
He also stressed that it is important for all members of the international police agency to form strong networks because criminals are not restricted by boundaries.
Talking about difficulties in the international law enforcement cooperation system, Anderson said that besides language barriers, different legal structures in different countries also prove to be a tricky problem.
Anderson also mentioned that China and Interpol worked closely on various financial crime operations and intelligence exchanges, saying that Interpol hopes to further that cooperation in the anti-corruption program.
