Ex-Provincial Health Official Caught in Sweeping Graft Crackdown

What’s new: Shi Guosheng, former deputy director of the medical products administration in East China’s Shandong province, has fallen under a graft probe amid an intensified anti-corruption crackdown on the country’s health care industry.

Shi is suspected of “serious violations of discipline and law,” local graft busters in Shandong said in a one-line statement Thursday. The phrase is a common euphemism for corruption, but no further detail about his misconduct was given.
