Internet companies joining anti-graft efforts to protect the public's interests
JD.COM, a major e-commerce giant in China, disclosed 10 graft cases in the group on Monday, and said the suspected criminals will be handed over to the judiciary authorities for further investigation and trial. This is necessary to ensure the healthy development of the internet industry and to protect consumers' interests, says Beijing Youth Daily.
The graft cases involve bribes from suppliers and soliciting kickbacks from suppliers, among other things.
The other e-commerce giant Alibaba Group disclosed its corruption cases in 2012. And Tencent Group, a large social media corporation in China, reported its employees' graft cases to the police last year. Baidu.com, which provides the most popular search engine in China, reported 17 corruption cases in September.
