Ex-official gets 15-year sentence

China's former vice-minister of public security, Li Dongsheng, was jailed for 15 years for accepting bribes, a court announced on Tuesday.

Dozens of officials in the government, military and State-owned enterprises have been brought down in a sweeping anti-graft campaign over the past three years under President Xi Jinping.

Li went on trial in Tianjin in October, charged with illegally accepting almost 22 million yuan ($3.5 million) worth of assets, Xinhua News Agency reported at the time.
