A HIGH-RANKING official with south China's Guangdong Province was yesterday declared to be dismissed from the Communist Party of China and sacked from all his government positions and held as part of a criminal investigation, according to Southern Metropolis Daily.
Xie Pengfei, 62, was deputy secretary of the Guangdong provincial government and director of the provincial government's major think tank.
Discipline inspection authority with CPC Guangdong committee announced yesterday that Xie severely violated Party rules and was also suspected of breaking laws. He had all his ill-gotten property confiscated by the government, officials announced.
Xie had held positions in Development Research Center for the provincial government since 1992 until last April.
The disciplinary authority so far has not provided details, but reports in Chinese media indicated he had gained illegal benefits through close ties with a local private financing firm, Huading Co Ltd. The company was part of a serious credit crisis involving many banks and businesses in February. China Business News reported in June that Xie's downfall was linked to his relationship with Huading's boss, Chen Yibiao.
A Guangdong researcher who had work contacts with Xie told CBN that the center Xie supervised had contracted some government advisory projects to several unqualified candidates, saying bribes may have been involved.
