Senior China Provincial Media Official Probed for Corruption

The deputy director of the provincial radio and television bureau in Southwest China’s Yunnan is being investigated for alleged corruption, according to the country’s top anti-graft watchdog.

Wu Hao, who is also a member of the bureau’s party leadership group, has been placed under review for suspected “serious violations of discipline and law,” a common euphemism for corruption, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said in a statement published late Tuesday, quoting Yunnan anti-graft authorities. It did not elaborate on Wu’s alleged wrongdoing.
