After over a year of investigation, the former boss of China’s leading shipbuilder was handed a 12-year sentence on July 4 for graft crimes and abuse of power.

The sentencing of Sun Bo, former top executive at the state-owned China Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (CSIC), occurred behind closed doors due to sensitive information related to state secrets, China’s state-run media Xinhua reported on July 4.
