Top former official on trial

SUN Huaishan, a former senior political adviser, stood trial yesterday for charges including taking bribes at the Intermediate People’s Court of Hulun Buir City in north China’s Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region.

Sun was formerly a member of the Standing Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference National Committee and head of the Committee for Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan Compatriots and Overseas Chinese of the CPPCC National Committee.

According to the prosecutors’ indictment, between 1994 and 2016, Sun allegedly took advantage of his posts to provide help for certain units and individuals in procurement of land use rights, enterprise operation, project approval and job promotions.

From 2000 to 2016, he accepted money and property worth 39.75 million yuan (US$6.24 million), either by himself or through his family, the indictment read.

Prosecutors as well as Sun and his defense attorneys examined the evidence in court. Both sides fully expressed their opinions, according to the court’s statement.
