China Statistics Chief

A Chinese court today jailed for life the former head of the statistics bureau, Wang Baoan, after finding him guilty of corruption, the latest official to be brought down in President Xi Jinping's war on corruption.

China today expelled its "morally corrupt" former national statistics chief from the ruling Communist Party and the public office, accusing him of "insatiably" trading power and money for sex besides following superstitious beliefs.

The head of the bureau that gathers China's economic data is under investigation by the anti-graft agency in a possible expansion of an anti-corruption campaign that has shaken state companies and securities firms.

A turnaround in India's growth story can be expected from here onwards, helped by an improving state of affairs in the US and China, Raghuram Rajan, Chief Economic Advisor to the Finance Minister, told NDTV Profit.
