What’s new: Liu Xingtai, one of the vice chairmen of Hainan province’s legislature and the deputy secretary of its top Communist Party body, has fallen under a graft probe, the country’s top anti-corruption agency announced Wednesday.
Liu, who previously served as vice governor of the tropical island province and chief of its political and legal affairs commission, is being investigated for suspected “serious violations of discipline and law,” the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said in a statement. The phrase is a common euphemism for corruption. The statement did not offer further details on Liu’s suspected wrongdoing.
