SHANGHAI, Sept 23 (Reuters) - China's anti-corruption body
said on Wednesday that Zhu Huimin, chairman of the China
Everbright Industry Group, is under investigation for suspected
disciplinary violation. 
    The industry unit is fully-owned by China's state-owned
conglomerate Everbright Group, and is responsible of financing,
and developing environmental protection and property projects
for the group, according to its website.
    Zhu has come under investigation for "serious violations of
Communist Party's discipline and law", a euphuism for
corruption, China's anti-corruption agency said. 
    The investigation was announced in a joint statement from
the Central Commission Discipline Inspection (CCDI) office in
northeast China's Heilongjiang province, and its special team
stationed in the Everbright Group.
