- The deputy head of one of China's business regulators, the State
Administration for Industry and Commerce, is under investigation for suspected
corruption, state media said on Friday.
Sun
Hongzhi is "suspected of serious violations of party discipline and
law" and was being investigated by the ruling Communist Party's anti-graft
watchdog, Xinhua news agency said, using the usual euphemism for graft.
It
gave no other details. Reuters was not able to reach Sun for comment.
The
State Administration for Industry and Commerce also has an anti-trust role,
along with at least two other government departments, and was involved in
questioning Microsoft Corp this year on the compatibility of its Windows
operating system and Office software suite.
Sun
joined the body in 2011, having been moved there from previous jobs in the
northeastern province of Jilin, where he held coal and agricultural roles,
according to his biography.
China's
campaign against official corruption has intensified since Xi Jinping took over
as president two years ago, with several senior government figures and state
company executives in detention.
