Corruption Scandals Hit Science Officials in Guangdong

(Beijing) – Another Guangdong official linked to the science and technology sector has run afoul of corruption fighters, who are examining how funds for research projects are disbursed.

The anti-corruption watchdog in the southern province said on March 14 that Zhang Ming, Communist Party vice secretary of the province's department of science and technology, was being investigated for "serious discipline violations." No other details were provided, but the phrase usually means corruption.
