Former energy industry exec under investigation

Li Dong, former deputy general manager of the China Energy Investment Corporation (China Energy) and formerly a member of the company's leading Party members group, is facing a disciplinary review and supervisory investigation, said the country's top anti-graft watchdogs on Wednesday.

The Central Commission of Discipline Inspection of the Communist Party of China and the National Commission of Supervision, the country's top anti-graft watchdogs, issued a statement on Wednesday saying that Li is suspected of seriously violating Party disciplines and national laws.

Born in 1960, Li worked in the energy industry for a long time. He was appointed deputy general manager of China Energy in November 2017.
