Deng Zhonghua, former president of a listed company in central
China's Hunan province, has been removed as a deputy of the 10th
National People's Congress (NPC) to allow prosecutions against him
for alleged bribery.
The standing committee of the Hunan provincial people's congress
passed the resolution on Thursday.
Deng, 49, has been accused of taking and offering huge bribes
when he was the president of Hunan Chendian International
Development Share-holding Limited Company, according to the
committee.
He resigned from the company on Dec. 12 after being investigated
by local anti-corruption authorities, according to media
reports.
The former vice president of the Hunan company, Liu Xiaowen, was
arrested on Nov. 21 and charged with economic crimes.
Deng became the president of Hunan Chendian International
Development Share-holding Limited Company in March 2004.
