Police Chief of Northeast Province Liaoning Under Graft Probe

What’s new: Wang Dawei, deputy governor and police chief of northeast China’s Liaoning province, was placed under investigation by the country’s top anti-graft agency.

Wang, 57, has been the Communist Party chief of the rustbelt province’s public security department since 2013. He became a deputy governor in 2017.

Wang made his last public appearance Feb. 25 when local media reported his attendance at a meeting in the provincial capital Shenyang, discussing a crackdown on internet and telecom fraud.
