The deputy head of the state-owned company that’s developing China’s first home-built aircraft carrier has been fired and expelled from the Communist Party, following a corruption probe that found he had accepted bribes and abused his power.

Sun Bo, who was general manager of China Shipbuilding Industry Corp (CSIS), was accused of abusing his power, harming the interests of CSIC, and “causing great damage to the national interest,” the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), said in a statement on Dec. 17.
