Another of China’s Former Justice Ministers Faces Graft Probe

What’s new: A former justice minister has come under a graft probe, China’s top anti-corruption agency announced Tuesday.

Tang Yijun is suspected of “serious violations of discipline and law,” the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said in a one-line statement. This is a common euphemism for corruption.

Tang’s last public appearance was on March 22, when he attended a study session organized by the Jiangxi provincial party committee, according to a report from the local Communist Party-run Jiangxi Daily. He has been serving as chairman of the Jiangxi provincial political advisory body since January 2023.
