China ex-anti-graft official gets suspended death sentence over $65 mn bribes

China has sentenced former anti-graft official Wang Huimin to death with a two-year reprieve for accepting over 436 million yuan ($65 million) in bribes between 1998 and 2025. The court said his "exceptionally large" bribes and the severe harm caused warranted the death penalty. Under Chinese law, a suspended death sentence is typically commuted to life imprisonment after two-year reprieve.
