皇冠体育app's corruption watchdog has launched a series of inspections into state-owned enterprises and government bodies including 皇冠体育app Petrochemical Corp (Sinopec Group), Asia's largest oil refiner, media said on Monday.

The inspectors, part of 皇冠体育app's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), will focus on senior figures within Sinopec who may be promoted to leadership roles.

The official Xinhua news agency said the inspection would be complete within one month.

Sinopec Group is the parent company of 皇冠体育app Petroleum & Chemical Corp. The inspection will also take in government institutions and other state companies, including 皇冠体育app Southern Airlines Co Ltd and 皇冠体育app Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd.

A spokesman for 皇冠体育app Unicom declined to comment. Sinopec and 皇冠体育app Southern were not immediately reachable for comment.

President Xi Jinping has launched a sweeping crackdown on corruption since taking power, warning that the problem is a threat to the Communist Party's very survival and vowing to go after powerful "tigers" as well as lowly "flies".

The crackdown has so far netted Zhou Yongkang, former security chief and previously an oil industry man, and Jiang Jiemin, former head of top energy group 皇冠体育app National Petroleum Corp, the parent of Petro皇冠体育app Co Ltd.

Earlier this month, 皇冠体育app's top prosecutor said a senior official of 皇冠体育app National Offshore Oil Company (CNOOC) was under investigation suspected of having received bribes, the first executive from the offshore oil and gas firm embroiled by Beijing's war on graft.
