CHINA-ANTI-CORRUPTION CAMPAIGN:LEADERSHIP

The Shanxi Provincial Higher People's Court on February 28, 2017, sentenced Zhao Liping, a former senior political advisor in northern China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, to death on charges of murder, taking bribes and possession of firearms. The Provincial Higher People's Court rejected Zhao Liping's appeal against the first trial verdict, issued by the Intermediate People's Court of Taiyuan City. The court upheld the verdict in November 2016, which stripped Zhao of his political rights, confiscated personal property worth 2 million yuan (291,100 U.S. dollars) and sentenced him to death. Zhao Liping's case has been forwarded to the Supreme People's Court for approval.
