Deputy tourism chief ousted amid probe

A top official of the National Tourism Administration has been ousted from the Communist Party of China and removed from his post, the latest charges amid an intensified, national anti-graft campaign.

Huo Ke, 54, was put under a graft probe in January, a month after he was named tourism deputy head in December.

The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, China's top anti-corruption authority, said on Wednesday that it had filed a case against Huo with the approval of the Party's central leadership.
