What’s new: The former head of the Shanghai legislature, Dong Yunhu, has been charged with taking a “huge amount” of bribes, national prosecutors announced.
China’s Supreme People’s Procuratorate (SPP) has accused Dong of taking advantage of his past positions, such as chairman of the Standing Committee of Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress and publicity department chief of the Xizang autonomous region’s party committee, to hand out favors, according to a Wednesday statement.
