A WORK safety official in northwest China's Shaanxi Province who was photographed smiling at the scene of a fatal bus crash last year has been expelled from the Communist Party of China and his case has been transferred to judicial authorities, local authorities said yesterday.
Yang Dacai, former head of the provincial work safety administration, engaged in serious disciplinary violations and is suspected of committing crimes during his tenure, according to Shaanxi provincial disciplinary authorities.
Yang first stirred up condemnation from netizens after he was photographed wearing a broad smile while surveying a road collision that left 36 people dead on August 26.
Photos showed Yang wearing luxury wristwatches, earning him a nickname: "Watch Brother." Yang said he purchased the watches with his own salary, but Internet users argued that a public servant could not possibly afford costly watches.
He was dismissed from his position on Shaanxi's Provincial Commission for Discipline Inspection of the CPC, as well as head and CPC chief of the provincial work safety administration, in September.
