Wang Huimin, a former high-ranking official in China’s regulatory and disciplinary bodies, has been expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) following an investigation into severe violations of Party discipline and national laws. The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) and the National Supervisory Commission (NSC) announced the decision on Monday, citing multiple breaches of ethical and legal standards. Wang, who previously served as a member of the Party Committee of the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) and director of the CCDI and NSC’s inspection and supervision group stationed at the CSRC, was found to have abused his authority, deviated from the CPC’s poverty alleviation strategy, and engaged in corrupt practices. Investigations revealed that Wang accepted lavish banquets, failed to report personal matters as required, and allowed relatives and associates to exploit his position for personal gain. Additionally, he used his influence to facilitate benefits for others in areas such as recruitment, corporate listings, and promotions, accepting substantial bribes in return. The CCDI and NSC have stripped Wang of his official privileges, confiscated his illegal gains, and transferred his case to judicial authorities for prosecution. Wang, 66, began his career in 1975 and held various prominent positions, including president of China Construction Bank’s Xinjiang branch and vice-chairman of the Standing Committee of the People’s Congress of Xinjiang. His expulsion underscores the CPC’s ongoing efforts to enforce strict discipline and combat corruption within its ranks.
