                      China Investigates Top State Planner

   Chinese officials say a deputy chairman of China`s top planning agency
   is under investigation.
   In a one-sentence statement carried by state media Sunday, the
   Communist Party`s disciplinary agency said that Liu Tienan, deputy head
   of the Cabinets` National Development and Reform Commission is being
   investigated for suspected "severe discipline violations," a phrase
   usually reserved for corruption cases. The report gave no further
   details.
   The investigation into Liu comes as China`s new leadership under
   President Xi Jinping has pledged to root out widespread corruption.
   China`s official Xinhua news agency reported last month that
   prosecutors handled 3,657 corruption cases during the first quarter of
   2013.
