China's discipline inspection agency approved the punishment of two senior officials for discipline violations at a plenary meeting on Monday.
Li Gang was placed on one-year probation within the Party and Qu Shuhui was given two years of probation within the Party due to "serious violations of Party discipline," said a statement issued after the meeting of the Communist Party of China Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI).[Special coverage]
The decisions were made by the CCDI Standing Committee earlier and approved at the Monday meeting.
