Officials in Inner Mongolia face graft investigation

Two officials in north China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region were investigated for alleged serious discipline and law violations, said the regional discipline inspection watchdog on Thursday.

The two are identified as Bao Chongming, deputy chief of the Chifeng City Committee of the Communist Party of China; and Lin Jian, head of Erdos City's Dongsheng District government.

China is carrying on unprecedented intensive anti-graft campaign, targeting both high-ranking and minor officials. The effective crackdown has been lauded by the public.
