Chinese authorities have removed a former leader of Tibet from office over alleged crimes including taking bribes and engaging in “superstitious activities”, the country’s top anti-corruption bodies said Tuesday.
Qizhala — who was governor of the western region from 2017 to 2021 — was dismissed over “serious violations of discipline”, a statement said, a common euphemism for corruption.
He had most recently served as a member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, the country’s main political advisory body.
Beijing’s Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and National Supervisory Commission said Qizhala “betrayed” his original mission by accepting bribes and misusing public funds to host illegal banquets.
He also colluded with business owners to secure favourable contracts and engaged in “superstitious activities” over a long period, they said.
