What’s new: A former deputy general manager of China General Nuclear Power Corp. (CGN) has been placed under investigation amid an intensified crackdown on corruption in state-owned firms and capital-intensive sectors such as energy.
Tan Jiansheng, who retired from the state-owned energy giant in June 2020, is suspected of “serious violations of (Communist Party) discipline and law,” according to a statement published Monday by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. The phrase is a common euphemism for corruption.
