BEIJING -- Chinese corruption buster Wang Qishan, long the right-hand man to President Xi Jinping, on Tuesday was not re-elected to the Communist Party's Central Committee.
At 69, Wang has passed the unofficial retirement age for party officials -- 68. But there is also speculation that his fortunes were affected by allegations leveled by exiled tycoon Guo Wengui. The fugitive businessman has accused Wang of owning a large stake in HNA Group, a conglomerate whose opaque ownership has fueled controversy.
