BEIJING, Jan. 8 -- Yang Weize, Party chief of Nanjing, capital city of east China's Jiangsu Province, has been removed from post for suspected "serious discipline and law violations."
The decision was made by the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee, said the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee in a statement on Thursday.
Yang was also member of the Standing Committee of the CPC Jiangsu Provincial Committee.
The CPC's discipline agency announced earlier this month that Yang has been placed under investigation for suspected serious violation of party disciplines and laws.
