Corruption drive hits Chalco

Former executive is expelled from CPC, dismissed from office, Party says

The former general manager of Aluminum Corp of China Ltd, the country's top aluminum producer, was expelled from the Communist Party of China and dismissed from office, as China stepped up its anti-graft drive after a series of scandals.

Sun Zhaoxue, former general manager of Chalco, was found to have taken advantage of his position to "secure benefits for others, solicit and accept a huge amount in bribes". He was also found guilty of adultery, according to the announcement made by the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on Tuesday.
