HONG KONG -- The former chairman of Huachen Automotive Group Holdings, parent of BMW's China joint venture partner Brilliance China Automotive, is under investigation by the country's most powerful graft buster for suspected violation of discipline.
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, or CCDI, released a brief posting on its official website on Friday evening. The wording, which says ex-chief Qi Yumin was "involved in serious violation of discipline and law," typically implies that the investigation is related to some form of corruption. However, no further clues are provided in the statement.
