Chinese government sent a team to US for Ling Wancheng

Bowen News Service has learned that a very large work group led by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Ministry of Public Security has been in the United States for two months, and reached a preliminary agreement on Ling Wancheng, younger brother of Ling Jihua, former chief of the CPC Central Committee Secretariat and former vice chairman of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC). Ling Wancheng is likely to return to China from the US to help with the investigation of Ling Jihua, in exchange for a commitment by Beijing authorities to treat him leniently.

Ling Wancheng (aka Wang Cheng) is suspected of having fled to the United States last year with a large volume of classified Communist Party documents.

In addition, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection will within about a week announce the details of Ling Jihua’s case, and evidence of his suspected illegal activity will be handed over to the judiciary for prosecution. It’s understood that Ling’s case primarily involves political crimes, but authorities will focus on his accepting bribes in exchange for official promotions and abuse of authority in their case against Ling.

At the same time this agency learned the Ling case was going to be publicized, Beijing-based Caijing Magazine today published aspects of the inside story of Ling Jihua’s case. Ling accepted bribes amounting to tens of millions of yuan from former Nanning City, Guangxi Province Municipal Party Committee chief Yu Yuanhui to assist Yu’s official promotion. This demonstrates that domestic media also received the news that the Ling case was about to be publicized.
