A deputy party chief of Maoming city in the southern province of Guangdong has been placed under investigation¹ by the Communist Party’s graft² fighter, in a sign that a probe over local officials offering bribes³ for legislative⁴ seats and promotions⁵ is expanding. A source close to the matter said the probe was related to the case of Zhu Mingguo former top political advisor⁶ of Guangdong.

茂名市委副书记廖锋正在接受中央纪委调查，有迹象表明当地官员为了谋取立法机构公职，以及干部选拔对他人进行行贿。知情人士透露称，这起调查与广东省前政协主席朱明国有关。

The party’s graft watchdog announced an investigation into Liao Feng August 12 on suspicion of corruption⁷. The source said Liao was close to Zhu, who was Liao’s superior for many years in the anti-corruption authority and the social work committee system. The recent probe into Liao is related to an anti-corruption investigation Zhu was overseeing which involved more than 200 officials in Maoming, said the source.

8月12日，因涉嫌贪污，中央纪委宣布了对廖锋的调查。知情人士透露称，廖锋与朱明国关系密切，在广东省纪委和社会工作委员会，朱一直是廖的上级。有消息指出，在对廖的反贪调查中，朱进行了监督，在茂名，因这起案件而受牵连的官员超过了200人。

Liao was the head of the city’s anti-corruption authority at the time. The party’s graft watchdog found in 2011 that hundreds of officials had offered bribes to high-level officials for promotions and legislative seats in Maoming. However, not all officials involved were punished at the time. When an anti-graft inspection⁸ team visited Maoming at the beginning of last year, the team urged local authorities to reinvestigate the case. The Guangdong provincial⁹ party committee said in June last year that 159 more officials involved in the Maoming corruption case were punished.

当时，廖是茂名市纪委书记。2011年，中央纪委发现在茂名市，因谋取立法机关公职，以及干部选拔的行贿官员有数百人之多。然而，并非所有官员都受到了惩罚。去年年初，中央巡视组来到茂名，巡视组敦促当地部门重新进行调查。广东省委员会称，去年6月，在茂名贪污案中遭受惩罚的官超过了159人。
