Former China Railway Czar Sheng Guangzu Under Graft Probe

What’s new: Sheng Guangzu, a former top official overseeing China’s vast railway system, is under investigation by the country's top anti-graft body for suspected severe violations of discipline and laws, according to a Friday government statement.

Sheng, 72, retired six year ago from the post of Communist Party chief and general manager of China Railway Corp., the state railway operator. He was previously the country’s minister of railways.
