China found more than 10,000 officials guilty of corruption and other forms of power abuse in the first six months of the year, state media said Thursday.

The cases were uncovered in a national campaign to improve enforcement of the administrative law, a set of regulations aimed at protecting citizens from the unrestrained exercise of state power, Xinhua news agency reported.

"China is now pushing forward its anti-corruption work in an in-depth way and seeks to prevent corruption from the root," said Gan Yisheng, a spokesman of a Communist Party agency in charge of strengthening discipline.

He was not quoted as giving any specifics as to what the 10,000 officials had done to violate regulations, or what had been done to punish them.

Chinese President Hu Jintao, who is also the party's secretary general, called last month for a resolute fight to stamp out "rampant" corruption in the party.

The government has announced repeated crackdowns on corruption over recent years with little apparent impact.

Protests have been on the rise in China with corruption often cited as one of the main reasons for public expressions of anger.
