Wang Min, former Communist Party of China (CPC) chief of northeast China's Liaoning Province and a senior national legislator, is under investigation on suspicion of accepting bribes.

The Supreme People's Procuratorate announced on Thursday that it has decided to take "coercive measures" against Wang. The investigation is under way.
