Shanxi's top official visits city at center of graft scandal

The newly appointed top official of coal-rich Shanxi province, Wang Rulin, has visited Lyuliang, the center of a corruption scandal that has swept the province.

Wang made the visit last week.

The city was a revolutionary base during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression (1937-45). It is notorious for corruption and faces problems that affect its economic and social development.
