Former high-ranking Chinese anti-corruption official faces investigation

A former senior anti-corruption investigator in China, Li Xiaohong, is reportedly under investigation. Li, who previously served as director of the central office for five years and had a career overseeing state-owned enterprises and banks, was a co-author of a 2017 book on financial anti-corruption theory. His investigation comes amidst President Xi Jinping's ongoing and extensive anti-corruption campaign, which has seen numerous officials targeted. The development highlights a trend where even those tasked with combating corruption can become subjects of scrutiny within the broader purges. Sources: Le Monde.
