Science official expelled over graft
Chen Gang, a senior official with the China Association for Science and Technology, has been dismissed from public office and expelled from the Communist Party of China for a serious violation of discipline and law, the top anti-graft watchdog announced on Thursday.
The CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said in a statement that the 53-year-old former secretary of the association's secretariat was found to have abused his power to build luxurious gardens for personal use.
Chen occupied luxury hotel suites for years without paying and accepted tourism offers that could have affected the fair performance of official duties, the statement said.
