Print Edition
THE former Party secretary of Hubei Province, Li Hongzhong, 60, has been appointed Party chief for the strategic port city of Tianjin, days after the announcement of a corruption investigation into the northern city’s former mayor.
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said on Saturday that Tianjin’s mayor and acting Party chief, 61-year-old Huang Xingguo, was suspected of “serious discipline breaches,” a euphemism for corruption.
“Huang Xingguo will no longer act as Tianjin Party secretary, has been excused from his positions as municipal deputy Party secretary, standing committee member, and mayor, and will be handled according to relevant laws and regulations,” Xinhua news agency said, giving no further details.
Last August, massive explosions at a chemicals warehouse in Tianjin killed about 170 people, sparking anger nationwide that it had been built so close to residential areas.
Last month, the Party announced it was investigating Yin Hailin, a long-time city planning official who became Tianjin’s deputy mayor in 2012, also on suspicion of corruption.
