China is set to pass a law to set up a "super" ministry dedicated to fighting corruption, vastly expanding the scope of President Xi Jinping's ongoing anti-graft campaign beyond Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials.

The state Constitution will also be amended at the annual meeting of the National People's Congress (NPC) that begins tomorrow to designate this super body, the National Supervisory Commission, as a new branch of government answerable to the NPC and its standing committee.
