Top official faces graft charges

Sun Yu, former vice-chairman of the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, was kicked out of the Party and removed from government posts before being handed over to face corruption charges, the Guangxi Daily reported yesterday.

The newspaper said the Party's Central Committee for Discipline Inspection found Sun had accepted massive bribes.

Sun, 51, is one of four chairman-level officials in the region sacked for corruption. The other three are former chairman Cheng Kejie and two vice-chairmen.
