Beijing: The former Communist Party chief of Chinese e-commerce hub Hangzhou, who was accused of supporting “disorderly expansion” of private companies, has been expelled from the party.
A party corruption probe into Zhou Jiangyong, announced in August, has been concluded and he will be handed over to prosecutors, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) said on Wednesday, The Star reported.
He was expelled just days after Zhou was featured in a five-part state television series about corruption.
Zhou, 54, has been accused of disloyalty to the party and colluding with private companies to support their “disorderly expansion”, according to the CCDIas quoted by The Star.
