Tianjin Mayor Investigated for Corruption

(Beijing) - The mayor of Tianjin, one of the four largest cities in China, is being investigated for corruption, according to the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the ruling Communist Party's top anti-graft agency.

Huang Xingguo, 61, the mayor and interim party secretary of the city's party committee, is being investigated for "serious violations of party discipline," a euphemism for corruption, the CCDI said in a tersely worded statement released late Saturday night.
