China’s top anti-corruption authorities have launched a disciplinary probe against Gu Jun, former senior executive of the state-owned China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC). The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) and National Supervisory Commission disclosed on Monday that Gu is suspected of serious breaches of Party discipline and national laws, currently undergoing comprehensive review and investigation.
Gu Jun, 62, from Jiangsu province, concluded his extensive career in China’s nuclear power sector with his retirement in 2024 after serving as CNNC’s general manager since 2018. His professional journey began in 1983, with Party membership commencing in 1989. His career trajectory included significant leadership roles at Sanmen Nuclear Power Company and the former State Nuclear Power Technology Corporation, which underwent restructuring and merger into State Power Investment Corporation in 2015.
Prior to his CNNC appointment, Gu held the general manager position at China Nuclear Engineering and Construction Corporation starting April 2015. His case represents the latest in China’s ongoing anti-corruption campaign within state-owned enterprises and strategic industries, particularly those involving critical national infrastructure and advanced technological development.
