Retired general caught up in anti-corruption campaign
Print Edition
A RETIRED air force general is under investigation on suspicion of graft, the latest high-ranking official caught up in China’s much-publicized anti-corruption campaign.
Tian Xiusi, formerly the air force’s political commissar, has been “placed under investigation for serious disciplinary violations,” according to www.81cn.com, an official news site affiliated with the People’s Liberation Army.
The expression is often used as a euphemism for corruption. The article provided no further details.
Tian began his military career in 1968 and held positions including political commissar in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region before becoming the air force political commissar last year.
Tian’s wife and secretary have also been placed under investigation, according to reports.
Meanwhile, Chang Xiaobing, the former chief executive and chairman of China Telecom Corp, has been expelled from the Party and will face prosecution, the Party’s anti-graft watchdog announced yesterday.
Chang, who was put under investigation in December, used his position to assist relatives and gain influence, while accepting property and bribes, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said in a statement on its website.
His case has been handed over to the legal authorities, it added, meaning he will face prosecution.
In December, state-owned China Telecom Corp announced that Chang had resigned, just days after authorities said he was being investigated for alleged disciplinary violations.
Chang was chairman of China Unicom before becoming China Telecom chairman. China Unicom and China Telecom are two of the country’s top three telecom services providers.
