Two NPC deputies expelled

Two deputies of 11th National People's Congress, China's top legislature, have been expelled after being accused of breaking the law. One of them is the former director of the Budgetary Work Committee of NPC Standing Committee -- Zhu Zhigang.

A resolution adopted by members of the NPC Standing Committee says Zhu is now under investigation for suspected violations of discipline and law. The resolution did not detail the violations.

The other expelled deputy was elected from eastern Fujian province -- Chen Shaoyong. Chen is suspected of taking a huge sum of bribes.
