SHANGHAI: China’s ruling Communist Party has expelled the former chairman of the state-owned Bank of China from the party, accusing him of illegal activities and taking bribes, the top anti-graft watchdog said today. Liu Liange was accused of illegally granting loans and causing significant financial risks, the central commission for discipline inspection said in a statement on its website.
He also brought prohibited publications into the country and illegally took bribes and accepted entertainment at private clubs and ski resorts, said the commission, which is responsible for tackling corruption in the 97 million-member party.Liu, born in 1961, had been working in banking and finance institutions, including in the central People’s Bank of China and the Export-Import Bank of China, before he was promoted to become chairman of the Bank of China in 2019.
Fighting corruption to advance the party’s “self-revolution” has been a signature policy of President Xi Jinping since he became supreme leader in 2012.It has also helped him consolidate power by replacing rivals with loyalists, analysts have said.
