Vice Chairman of Country's Top Political Advisory Body Faces Inquiry

(Beijing) – A vice chairman of the country's top political advisory body is being investigated for "serious violations of discipline," the Communist Party's anti-graft fighter says.

The Central Discipline Inspection Commission (CDIC) did not provide details of Su Rong's alleged crimes, but the phrase usually means graft.

Su, the vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), is the highest-level official to be investigated since the party's anti-corruption campaign started soon after its 18th congress in November 2012.
