SASAC published a brief statement on its website that Liu Changhong has been called in by the authorities to help with investigation over “serious violations of discipline”, a phrase used by Chinese authorities to mean corruption.
Liu joined CSIC in 2011, and was previously a deputy director of SASAC.
