Another Provincial Graft Buster Busted for Graft

What’s new: China’s top graft buster has launched an investigation into the deputy head of the Guizhou provincial corruption watchdogs, making him the latest in a string of officials of that rank to be ensnared in the country’s anti-graft dragnet.

Zhang Ping, deputy secretary of Guizhou’s discipline inspection commission and deputy director of the provincial supervisory commission, is suspected of “serious violations of (Communist Party) discipline and law,” according to a one-line statement published Wednesday by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. The phrase is a common euphemism for corruption.
