Governor of Chinas Sichuan Province Suspected of Corruption Official Says
The governor of China's Sichuan province is under suspicion for corruption, a senior official said Friday. Wei Hong, who has been the top official in the south-western province for around three years, is rumored to have committed "severe disciplinary violations"  a commonly-used Chinese euphemism for graft, reports the BBC. The governor's suspected misconduct was announced by Wu Yuliang, deputy chief of the Chinese Communist Party's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, at a press conference Friday afternoon. China's anti-corruption campaign has gained momentum under current President Xi Jinping, with several top officials being indicted in recent years. BBC
