‘As a leading party cadre, Bu Jianjie lost his ideals and beliefs, (and) succumbed to greed,’ the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection says
Adding another strange wrinkle to Canada-China relations, a Chinese official who oversaw research on his country’s burgeoning naval-submarine fleet has been placed under arrest in China and accused of illegally obtaining Canadian citizenship.
China detained a Canadian businessman and an ex-diplomat after Meng Wanzhou’s seizure in what were seen as a tit-for-tat moves, but Canadian officials said there’s also no evidence Bu’s troubles are tied to the uproar over the Vancouver arrest of top Huawei executive Meng. Bu was head of the 718th Research Institute at the China Shipbuilding Industries Corp., a state-owned firm heavily involved in supplying the country’s growing navy, including its first domestically built aircraft carriers.
A glowing 2006 profile of Bu in the Hebei Workers’ Daily newspaper indicates his institute did research for “national defence construction,” some of which was also used in China’s first manned spacecraft. Bu is also accused of failing to report income, using his job to illegally obtain money and taking bribes, the notice said.
