China is probing a one-time aide to Zhou Yongkang for discipline violations, the latest official to be ensnared by corruption investigations surrounding the retired Politburo Standing Committee member.
Ji Wenlin, vice governor of southern China’s Hainan province, is under investigation for alleged “serious violations of discipline and laws,” the Communist Party’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said yesterday on its website. There were no other details in the statement, released two weeks before the annual meeting of China’s legislature, the National People’s Congress, begins on March 5.
