Vice-governor of Heilongjiang under probe

Wang Yixin, vice-governor of Northeast China's Heilongjiang province, is under disciplinary inspection and supervisory investigation, the country's top anti-corruption watchdog said.

The Communist Party of China Central Committee for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission released a statement on Friday saying that Wang is suspected of seriously violating the Party's disciplines and national laws.

No more details have been disclosed.

Wang, 58, a native of Hubei province, started his first job in 1987 and joined the Party in 1993.

Before he served as vice-governor of Heilongjiang in late 2021, he was vice-governor of Shanxi province.

Earlier, he worked for the China National Offshore Oil Corporation and Hainan State Farms.
