Ex-deputy governor expelled from Party

Shen Peiping, former vice-governor of Yunnan province, was expelled from the Communist Party of China and dismissed from public office following a graft investigation, a party discipline inspection agency said Wednesday. The investigation found that Shen took advantage of his post to seek profits for others, accepted "a huge amount in bribes" and committed adultery, said a statement from the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection.
