China's top corruption eradication authority opened a new channel on its official website on Wednesday night for tipoffs related to lavish behavior at year end.

The Communist Party of China's (CPC) Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) said the initiative would put the central authority's frugal policies into practice and curb bad practices such as using public funds for gifts, during the New Year festivities and the traditional Spring Festival.

The CCDI's website will name and shame all cases involving disciplinary violations on a weekly basis starting from Dec. 29. It also has a forum open to opinions and suggestions from the public on the counter-corruption drive.

Among a series of policies that advocate thrifty life- and workstyles among Party members and government agencies, the championing of intensified supervision aims to ensure the policies are implemented correctly.

China's Spring Festival, or the lunar new year, falls on Feb. 19 in 2015.
