BEIJING - The newly appointed Party chief of the Ministry of Railways, Sheng Guangzu, said the ongoing investigation into the activities of his predecessor shows the Party's resolve to punish corrupt officials and pursue clean governance.
Sheng, 62, who has been head of the General Administration of Customs since 2008, made the remarks at a televised news conference on Saturday night.
His predecessor, Minister of Railways Liu Zhijun, is no longer the Party chief of the ministry, according to a report on Xinhuanet.com that quoted the Organization Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee.
