Huang Sheng, former Vice Governor of east China's Shandong Province, was expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) for severe disciplinary and legal violations. He was also dismissed from all government posts by the State Council, according to a statement released on June 25 by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the CPC's disciplinary watchdog.

Huang has been caught using his position to seek interests for others, taking a large amount of bribes, and causing massive economic losses, in addition to moral corruption. Huang's illegal gains will be confiscated and his case has been referred to prosecutors, according to the CCDI.

Huang, 58, was born in Shandong and became vice governor of the province in March 2007.
