What’s new: Dong Yunhu, former chairman of Shanghai’s top legislature, has been sentenced to life in prison for accepting over 148 million yuan ($20.8 million) in bribes, a court in East China’s Anhui province announced.
Dong had abused positions he held in Shanghai, the Xizang autonomous region and the Communist Party’s international communication office between 2002 and 2023, granting favors in financing, land sales and personnel appointments, Hefei Intermediate People’s Court said in a Wednesday statement.
