Wang Pengyun, strategic planning director at the state-owned China Nonferrous Metal Mining Group (CNMC), has been placed under investigation for suspected “serious violations of discipline and law,” — a euphemism for corruption, China’s top corruption watchdog announced Monday (link in Chinese).

Details of the investigation have not been made available. Wang, who began working in the state-owned metal mining sector in 1982, joined CNMC in 2017.
