What’s new: A former chief judge of China’s Supreme People’s Court (SPC) has pleaded guilty to taking nearly 47 million yuan ($6.6 million) in bribes, a court in North China’s Shanxi province announced.
Zheng Xuelin, former chief judge of the SPC’s No. 1 Civil Adjudication Tribunal, allegedly took advantage of several positions he held at the country’s top court between 2004 and 2022 to help others handle cases and get jobs, receiving 35.29 million yuan in return, the prosecutors said in a Friday statement from Taiyuan Intermediate People’s Court.
