HONG KONG, May 17 — A former executive of state-owned China Resources (Holdings) Co Ltd, a conglomerate of energy, land and consumer businesses in mainland China and Hong Kong, is under investigation, China’s top anti-corruption body said.

Wang Shuaiting, vice chairman of China Travel Service (Holding) Hong Kong, is suspected of serious disciplinary violations — Beijing’s official jargon for graft — during his tenure at China Resources, the China Central Discipline Inspection Commission said in a one-line statement on its website.

The probe follows a similar investigation into Song Lin, the ex-chairman of China Resources who has been sacked from his post, according state media.

Such investigations are part of a wider anti-corruption drive launched by President Xi Jinping, who has vowed to tackle pervasive graft, saying he will go after high-flying “tigers” as well as lowly “flies”. — Reuters
