Top Chinese Security Official Investigated in Corruption Inquiry – NYTimes.com

It appears that no one is safe from investigations.

“One of China’s top security officials is being investigated by the Communist Party for “suspected serious law and discipline violations,” according to Xinhua, the state news agency.

The report said the official, Li Dongsheng, a vice minister of public security, is the subject of an inquiry by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, which is the party’s internal anti-corruption investigation agency. The Xinhua report, which appeared Friday, also said the agency had noted that Mr. Li was vice head of a central leading group for the prevention and handling of cult-related issues.

The Xinhua report was brief and did not give further details. Mr. Li has held his vice minister post since 2009, according to an official biographical outline. It was his first job within the security apparatus. Before that, he served in various party propaganda posts and worked at China Central Television, the state television network. He graduated in 1978 from Fudan University in Shanghai after studying journalism, and he is from Shandong Province in eastern China.”
