Former China Everbright Group Chairman Sentenced to 12 Years for Corruption

Tang Shuangning was convicted of embezzlement and bribery as part of China's decade-long anti-corruption crackdown.

Tang Shuangning, former chairman of China Everbright Group, was sentenced to 12 years in prison by a court in Tangshan, Hebei Province.
The court found Tang guilty of embezzling approximately 3 million yuan and accepting over 11 million yuan in bribes between 2000 and 2017.
Tang was expelled from the Chinese Communist Party earlier this year for serious violations of discipline and law.
He expressed remorse and cooperated with authorities, leading to a more lenient sentence, along with a 1.3 million yuan fine.
Tang's case is part of President Xi Jinping's broader anti-corruption campaign, which has targeted both high-ranking officials and lower-level cadres across China's financial and political sectors.
