WANG Min, former Communist Party of China chief of northeast China’s Liaoning Province and senior national legislator, has been expelled from the Party and dismissed from public office for serious breach of Party discipline, a statement said yesterday.

During his time as Liaoning Party chief, Wang failed to properly supervise the provincial elections and was responsible for serious electoral fraud including vote buying, according to a statement from the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.

Moreover, he had openly protested and violated frugality rules and spent public funds on expensive dinners, the statement said, adding he had resisted investigators.

Wang was accused of using his position and power to assist others in matters including promotions and business in exchange for money and property, or benefits for his family, which constitutes the crime of bribe taking, the statement said.

Wang was vice chairman of the Education, Science, Culture and Public Health Committee of the 12th National People’s Congress after leaving the post of Liaoning Party chief.

Since he is a member of the 18th CPC Central Committee, the decision to expel him will be officially approved at the next plenary meeting of the CPC Central Committee, the statement said.

The CCDI announced its investigation into Wang in March.

It was also decided that his illegal gains will be confiscated and his case transferred to judicial departments.
