Huang Qifan, the former mayor of Chongqing, has been placed under investigation for suspected corruption, China's anti-graft watchdog said on Tuesday afternoon. The 74-year-old economic technocrat survived the 2012 political purge of his former boss, Bo Xilai. The inquiry signals an expansion of anti-corruption oversight into retired senior officials who previously navigated major political scandals.
