The Communist Party's top disciplinary unit ousted two former senior provincial officials - former Yunnan governor Li Jiating and Fujian province's former deputy party secretary, Shi Zhaobin - for alleged corruption, paving the way for their trials.
Xinhua said Shi, also the former party secretary of Xiamen, had been found "guilty" by the commission of accepting 690,000 yuan in bribes from Chen Yanxin, a former manager of an oil company in Xiamen. Chen was sentenced to death in February for his part in the Yuan Hua scandal - widely considered the most serious smuggling case in China since 1949.
