Shanghai Lawmaker Booted From Top Legislature Following Graft Probe

What’s new: Shanghai lawmaker Dong Yunhu has been removed from his position as a deputy to the National People’s Congress (NPC), the country’s top legislature, after becoming the target of a graft probe.

Dong is the first representative to be publicly booted from the 14th NPC, whose members were confirmed in February. He has also been dismissed from his post as chairman of the Standing Committee of the Shanghai Municipal People’s Congress, according to a Tuesday report published on the Shanghai government-backed Jiefang Daily.
