The Communist Party of China expelled two senior officials for violations of discipline and law, the country’s top anti-graft watchdog said on Monday, as part of the widening anti-corruption purge under president Xi Jinping.
Former vice chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission Wang Jianjun and former vice director of the National Development and Reform Commission Xu Xianping were expelled for accepting bribes, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said in separate statements, describing their cases as “serious in nature” and having “malign influence”.
