China has expelled a former top official of eastern Jiangsu province from the Communist Party with a rare accusation of fabricating economic data.

Zhang Jinghua, a former deputy party chief of Jiangsu, was found to have “faked economic figures for personal promotion and meddled in market activities in violation of relevant rules,” the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said in a statement on Tuesday.
