Overview

• On September 28, the Changchun Intermediate People's Court in Jilin imposed a death sentence with a two-year suspension on Tang Renjian.
• The court found Tang accepted cash and property worth more than 268 million yuan between 2007 and 2024 while serving in multiple posts.
• Judges cited his confession, return of illicit gains, and expressions of remorse in granting the suspended death sentence.
• All personal property will be confiscated, illicit proceeds will be turned over to the national treasury, and his political rights are revoked for life.
• Tang was expelled from the Communist Party in November 2024 after a watchdog probe, and state media cast the case alongside investigations into former defense ministers Li Shangfu and Wei Fenghe.
