Two officials punished for discipline violation

BEIJING, Oct. 9 (Xinhua) -- 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).

The decisions were made by the CCDI Standing Committee earlier and approved at the Monday meeting.

Members of the CCDI also adopted a decision to remove the CCDI membership of Liu Shengjie.
