China’s anti-corruption campaign ensnared its first major targets after the Chinese Communist Party’s key political meeting, the fifth plenary session, concluded last week.
On Nov. 1, the Party’s two anti-corruption watchdog agencies announced that Tong Daochi, a member of the Hainan Province Standing Committee and Party chief of Sanya city, had been placed under investigation for suspected “serious violations of Party disciplinary rules and laws,” a phrase that’s an oft-used euphemism for corruption-related charges.
