鈥楽uperstitious鈥 vice mayor faces graft charges
Print Edition
A vice mayor in a key southeastern Chinese city will be prosecuted for graft after an investigation found he engaged in 鈥渟uperstitious鈥 activities, abused his power and took bribes, China鈥檚 main anti-graft watchdog said yesterday.
Li Dongliang, vice mayor of Xiamen, took gifts in exchange for help with promotions, covered up unspecified personal issues, allowed family members to benefit from his position and 鈥減articipated in superstitious activities,鈥 the ruling Communist Party鈥檚 Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said.
He also had 鈥渁bnormal sexual relations with others,鈥 it said, alluding to an extramarital affair. Such activity is banned for Party officials, who are meant to be upstanding members of the community.
Party members are also not supposed to believe in 鈥渟uperstition.鈥
In a similar case, China鈥檚 powerful former public security chief Zhou Yongkang, who was jailed for life last year for corruption, was accused of leaking undisclosed state secrets to a fortune teller.
The short statement gave no details of Li鈥檚 suspected crimes, only that his case would be handed over to legal authorities, meaning he would face prosecution.
Xiamen sits opposite Taiwan and is an important investment location for Taiwan businesses.
President Xi Jinping has launched a war against corruption since assuming office three years ago.
