BEIJING — China's anti-graft agency said it is investigating Xu Liuping, a former chairperson of carmakers FAW Group and Changan Auto, for "suspected serious violations of discipline and law", a usual euphemism for corruption.
A ministerial-level official, Xu was the party chief of the All-China Federation of Trade Unions when the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection announced the investigation in a statement on Saturday.
Xu is a veteran of the China South Industries Group Corporation (CSGC), a top state-owned maker of arms and autos.
Xu had been an executive at CSGC, the former parent of Changan Auto, for more than a decade.
