Top China official to face prosecution for corruption

Former senior official Su Rong has been expelled from the Chinese Communist Party for corruption and faces prosecution, said the country's top anti-corruption body.

Mr Su was a vice-chairman of China's parliamentary advisory body.

The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) said he had used his position to obtain "large bribes".

State media had announced in June 2014 that the government was investigating him for corruption.
