Former economic official Liu Tienan has been expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) and removed from public office, according to a statement released by the CPC's discipline watchdog today.

The CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection(CCDI) said it has found Liu, former deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission, "took advantage of his position to seek profits for others, and both Liu and his family accepted huge amount of bribes."

Liu has also been found to "seek benefits for his relatives' businesses by breaking relevant regulations, accept cash and gifts". Liu was also "morally degenerate", reads the CCDI statement.

In May, China sacked Liu as deputy director of the National Development and Reform Commission following an investigation into graft allegations that were brought to light by Caijing Magazine deputy editor Luo Changping through a series of Weibo posts.
