China’s anti-corruption watchdog targets its former senior official Li Xiaohong

China's top anti-corruption authorities announced on Tuesday that Li Xiaohong, a former senior disciplinary official responsible for national inspection, is under investigation for suspected severe disciplinary and legal violations. The 73-year-old veteran, who previously held top disciplinary positions at the securities regulator and led high-level anti-corruption crackdowns, is suspected of "serious violations of discipline and law," a term often used to indicate corruption. He is currently undergoing disciplinary review and supervisory investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI). This development highlights Beijing's ongoing campaign to address corruption within its senior disciplinary ranks and the financial sector.
