China corruption crackdown: Former Xinjiang party secretary under investigation
Another member of China's elite Politburo is to be taken out by a corruption probe. The former party chief of the Xinjiang region in China's northwest, Ma Xingrui, is being investigated for “severe violations of unspecified laws and party discipline". Mr Ma has not been seen at high-level meetings since late last year. He is the third on the originally 24-large Politburo to fall victim to what many consider the widest purge in decades by Chinese president Xi Jinping. Deborah Wong reports from Shenzhen.
