The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has placed a veteran official of the powerful State Council under investigation for corruption, the first high-profile case of 2026 as CCP leader Xi Jinping’s decade-long anti-corruption campaign continues.
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the Party’s top disciplinary and anti-graft body, announced on Jan. 5 that Tian Xuebin, 62, had been detained for “suspected serious violations of discipline and law.”
