Overview

• The Changchun Intermediate People’s Court in Jilin delivered the September 28 verdict against Tang Renjian after a corruption trial.
• Judges found he accepted more than 268 million yuan (about US$38 million) in cash and goods, causing “particularly grave” losses to state and public interests.
• The sentence carries a two-year suspension during which good conduct could lead to commutation to life imprisonment under Chinese law.
• Official accounts say Tang voluntarily confessed to the offenses and expressed remorse during the proceedings.
• Coverage places the case within Xi’s long-running anti-corruption campaign, and reports differ on the bribery timeframe, citing either 2007–2014 or 2007–2024.
