China’s top graft buster took the unusual step on Friday of plastering its website with pictures of 21 top Chinese tourist sites where officials are banned from holding meetings, a reminder of its crackdown on extravagance and corruption. As the country marked the Labour Day holiday, the party’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection’s normally quite staid website posted pictures of the 21 no-go zones under the caption: “Though these sites are good, just don’t meet there!” The sites include the Badaling sector of the Great Wall outside of Beijing, the old summer residence of the Qing emperors at Chengde and the beach resort of Sanya, which China likes to style its answer to Hawaii or Bali.
