China’s anti-graft watchdog said it’s investigating two top officials in the northern province of Shanxi, broadening a campaign in the coal-rich region that’s snared the brother of an aide to former President Hu Jintao.
Chen Chuanping and Nie Chunyu, members of the standing committee of the Communist Party in Shanxi, are being probed for serious violations of discipline and law, the party’s discipline and inspection commission said in separate statements on its website yesterday, using a phrase that signals corruption. Chen is also party chief of Taiyuan, the provincial capital.
