Liu Xinyun (original) (raw)

Liu Xinyun (Chinese: 刘新云; born September 1962) is a former Chinese politician who spent most of his career in his home-province Shandong. He was investigated by China's top anti-graft agency in April 2021. In September 2022, he was sentenced to 14 years in prison for bribery and abuse of power. Previously he served as vice governor of Shanxi and head of Shanxi Public Security Department. Liu is the latest senior-ranking police officer to be investigated in a years-long anti-corruption battle started by Chinese Communist Party general secretary Xi Jinping that is now sweeping China's domestic security apparatus.
