Top Officials Fan Out Across China to Fend Off a Slowdown

China’s cabinet sent teams headed by minister-level officials to 10 provinces to supervise implementation of measures to bolster the economy as the government pushes a flurry of pro-growth policies to fend off a slowdown.

Yi Gang, governor of the People’s Bank of China, led a team of inspectors to Henan province, where a multibillion-dollar village banking scandal led to the arrest of 234 people and anti-graft investigations of local banking officials.
