Yang Weize, Party chief of Nanjing, capital of Jiangsu province, led a 4,000-meter race with locals on Jan 1 to celebrate the New Year. Three days later, he became the first provincial-level official investigated for suspected "serious violations of discipline" and laws in 2015.
The announcement of the 53-year-old's investigation was posted on the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection website on Sunday evening.
The one-sentence announcement offered no details, but the term is a synonym for bribery, embezzlement and other forms of corruption.
