Former Chongqing Mayor Huang Qifan Investigated Eight Years After Retirement

China’s top anti-corruption watchdog said on Tuesday that former Chongqing mayor Huang Qifan was under investigation, eight years after his retirement.

Huang, 74, led the southwestern Chinese city from 2010 to 2016 and remained a prominent economic commentator after leaving public office.

His case adds to a series of investigations into Chongqing officials and financial executives, bringing scrutiny to a policymaker known for reforms in land use, urbanization and state-owned businesses.
