BEIJING - Former vice chair of the government of northwest China's Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region, Bai Xueshan, is being investigated by prosecutors for accepting bribes, according to the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP).

Following an initial investigation in November launched by the Communist Party of China's (CPC) Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the CCDI announced earlier this week that Bai had been removed from office and expelled from the Party for "severe disciplinary violations."

Bai has been placed under "coercive measures," which include summons by force, bail, residential surveillance, detention and arrest, according to an SPP statement released Wednesday.
