Exec expelled for graft; another probed

A senior official at one of China's largest shipbuilding conglomerates has been expelled from the Communist Party of China and removed from public office after being accused of serious violations of the law and Party discipline, China's top anti-graft bodies said on Monday.

Sun Bo, 57, former deputy Party chief and general manager of China Shipbuilding Industry Corp, was dismissed from his position and placed under investigation in June by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission.

He violated political disciplines and rules, betrayed Party aspirations and was involved in deceit that harmed the interests of the State-owned enterprise, the watchdogs said in a statement posted online.
