BEIJING Cheap Air Max 2017 , Jan. 16 (Xinhua) -- China has cut three out of four widely watched Spring Festival galas sponsored by ministries and state media, as the ruling party has stepped up efforts to cut pomp and fight corruption.


The three galas to be hosted by the ministries of public security, culture, and civil affairs respectively have been canceled, leaving only the Spring Festival Gala of China Central Television (CCTV) to be aired during the upcoming Chinese Lunar New Year, a source from the Ministry of Culture confirmed on Thursday.


The move came amid a broad campaign launched by the Communist Party of China (CPC) to cut extravagance and reduce red tape after the election of a new CPC leadership in November 2012.

The CCTV gala Cheap Air Max 180 , which lasts more than four hours and features music, dance, witty skits and crosstalk comedy, has become an annual fixture for millions of Chinese worldwide on the eve of Chinese New Year since the early 1980s.

This year Cheap Air Max 120 , the state broadcaster has employed well-known film director Feng Xiaogang as the general director of the gala and well-known comedian Zhao Benshan as deputy general director in charge of the gala's comedy programming.

Wearing a smile while clinching the gold medal in the men's 100m backstroke, a first for Chinese male swimmers at any world championships, Xu could not hold back his tears after the award ceremony.

"I won the title by only four hundredths of a second Cheap Air Max Sale , and I met tough challenge to resist the pressure from other opponents," Xu said, suggesting that he felt a little frustrated with his performance in the final.
