China's Anti-Corruption Agency Probes Chongqing Mayor

0:00It's March 20th. Here's what's happening around the world. China's top anti-corruption agency has opened a probe into Hu Hongkwa, the mayor of Chongqing, a major municipality in the southwest. Officials say he faces investigation for serious violations of law and discipline. The watchdog made the announcement on Friday highlighting another high-profile case in the ongoing crackdown. This comes as part of the ruling Communist Party's long-term effort to root out graft and tightened internal rules. Authorities describe it as a high-pressure campaign that's showing no signs of slowing down. With cases like this popping up regularly, the push for cleaner governance remains a top priority in Beijing.
