The news came from an internal public WeChat account called "Hu Yang Inspection."
It is the top authoritative public account for disciplinary work throughout Hu Yang Province, aimed at the Party and government system.
It usually posts news on Friday mornings and is sometimes jokingly referred to as "Black Friday" for officials who are about to fall from grace.
Unfortunately, the protagonist of this Black Friday was the Yangzhou City Secretary, Ma Xudong, suspected of serious violations of discipline while serving as Deputy Mayor, Executive Deputy Mayor, and Mayor—corrupt lifestyle, collusion between officials and businessmen, abuse of power, vast unaccounted wealth, and maintaining improper relations with others. He has been placed under double regulation, and all knowledgeable Party and government officials are encouraged to actively provide clues and cooperate in the investigation and evidence collection.
