Senior state-owned power corporation executive expelled from CPC

Huang Baodong, a senior executive of a state-owned power-related corporation, has been expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) and public office for "serious disciplinary and legal violations."

Huang was former deputy general manager of Power Construction Corporation of China.

The disciplinary inspection department of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) of the State Council conducted investigation of Huang's suspected violations and found that Huang took advantages of his post to seek benefits for other people and received a huge amount of bribes from others, the department said in a statement posted on the website of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on Monday.

The decision has been approved by the SASAC's Party Committee, the statement said.

Huang's suspected crimes have been transferred to judicial authorities, it added.
