Shanxi anti-corruption official booted for corruption

A Shanxi official in charge of fighting out corruption has been fired after being caught being... well, corrupted. Zhao Mingwen, the head of a watchdog commission at Jinzhong city's Public Security Bureau had arranged a police escort for his mothers' funeral procession earlier this month. When journalists tried to film the passing motorcade, they were assaulted and had their cameras stolen by his people. A Shanxi Communist Party Discipline Commission statement held Zhao “primarily responsible for the entire incident happening and for its evil influence.” Source: New Zealand Herald
