BEIJING -- China's national political advisory body is no harbor for corrupt officials, its spokesman said here Monday ahead its annual session.
The National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) fully supports the investigation into those corrupt officials who have violated rules and might break the law, spokesman Lyu Xinhua said at a press conference.
Two vice chairmen of the CPPCC National Committee, Ling Jihua and Su Rong, have been suspected of corruption and investigated accordingly.
Su is being investigated by the Supreme People's Procuratorate over allegations of accepting huge bribes for promoting his inferiors, among others.
A CPPCC meeting on Saturday removed Ling from the post of National Committee vice chairman and also stripped him of the CPPCC membership.
