'One million' Chinese officials punished for corruption
China has punished more than one million officials for corruption over the past three years, the government says.
Another 409 people, said to be fugitives, have been detained overseas this year.
The statistics were released as top officials in the Chinese Communist Party begin a closed-door plenum in Beijing.
President Xi Jinping has led a wide-ranging anti-corruption drive.
But some observers say the campaign has also been used by Mr Xi to purge political rivals, which he has denied.
