The Communist Party has expelled former Shanghai police chief Gong Daoan from its ranks setting the stage for him to stand trial, China s top anti-corruption agency announced on Wednesday.
Gong, who was also formerly a vice-mayor, was kicked out of the Communist Party and prosecutors have taken over his case to prepare for trial, said the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection. Gong, having abandoned his ideals and convictions, had attempted to build cliques within the Party, which caused serious harm to and had bad influences on the political environment, the commission said in an announcement without naming his accomplices.

The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) sent an additional 100 “cadres” to work in its top Hong Kong office over the past year to ensure the city was ruled by Chinese “patriots,” the
South China Morning Post (
SCMP) reported on Friday.
“One mainland [China] source said about 200 new cadres had been transferred to the central government’s liaison office in the past year, partly to replace others in jobs on rotation,” according to the Hong Kong-based newspaper, which cited unnamed sources with knowledge on the matter.
“The net increase was about 100,” the source said. “Some of the rotations planned for last year were delayed because of the [Chinese coronavirus] pandemic and the circumstances in Hong Kong, so there have been more newcomers recently.”
