(Beijing) – More high-level officials in the coal-rich northern province of Shanxi have run afoul of graft fighters recently, as the Communist Party's Central Discipline Inspection Commission (CDIC) says it is investigating two more leaders.

The CDIC said on its website on August 23 that Chen Chuanping, a member of province's party standing committee and the party chief of the provincial capital of Taiyuan, and Nie Chunyu, secretary general of the same standing committee, were placed under investigation for "serious violations of discipline and law."
