CPC expels former China Telecom chairman over graft

Xinhua, July 11, 2016 Adjust font size:

Chang Xiaobing, former chairman of China Telecom, one of China's big three telecom firms, has been expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) and removed from office for a catalog of offenses ranging from accepting bribes to ignoring frugality rules.

Announcing the decision on Monday, the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) said in a statement that Chang was also found to have obstructed anti-graft inspection and taken advantage of his post to seek promotions for others.

He conspired with his relatives, allowing them to use his influence to seek profits for themselves, according to the statement.

The decision to expel Chang from the CPC and to remove him from public office was approved by the CPC Central Committee.

Chang's case has now been transferred to judicial organs, and his suspect assets seized, the CCDI said. Endi
