Speaking in the wake of a spate of sex scandals involving Communist Party officials, Mei Heqing, a senior member of an anti-corruption body in the city of Guangzhou, urged officials to rein in their libidos or face the consequences.<\/div>
 <\/div>
Mr Mei said that in 2012 his unit had investigated 61 government officials for corruption. “Thirty-eight of them, nearly 63%, have been found to keep mistresses or have more than one sexual partner,” he told a news conference according to the state-controlled China Daily newspaper.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
“These cases have had a very bad social effect,” Mr Mei added.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Mr Mei’s advice follows a succession of embarrassing disclosures about the extramarital activities of Chinese politicians.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
The cases range from a village chief who allegedly kept four wives and had ten children to a police commander who promoted two sisters, who were allegedly both his mistresses, to his SWAT team.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
China rocked by five sex scandals in six days 06 Dec 2012<\/div>
 <\/div>
The highest-profile allegations of betrayal have been levelled against former Chongqing party chief, Bo Xilai, whose wife was in August convicted of murdering British businessman Neil Heywood.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Mr Bo is set to go on trial next year and will face a lengthy list of accusations including charges that he “had or maintained inappropriate sexual relationships with a number of women”.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
Jiang Weiping, a Chinese journalist who has spent years investigating Mr Bo, has claimed the disgraced politician kept at least 100 mistresses.<\/div>
 <\/div>
<\/div>
n one of his first official speeches, incoming president Xi Jinping warned China’s leaders they must tackle “despicable” acts of corruption or face “seething public anger, civil unrest and government collapse”.<\/div>
