Chinese primetime television. Authorities in 2004 had decided to
restrict the production of such dramas as too many were of poor quality.
由于作品鱼龙混杂，制作不精良，2004年中国有关部门决定限制反腐题材电视剧的制作与播出。因此，十年前，反腐题材的电视剧突然在电视台的黄金时段上消失了。

sweeping campaign against graft, anti-corruption got back in vogue.

confessing on camera and sobbing with remorse - even China's
anti-corruption agency did a show about corruption within its ranks. In
The Name of The People is thus the latest piece of propaganda aimed at
portraying the government's victory in its anti-corruption campaign.
