Inside the lavish club visited by shamed top Chinese official
Disgraced former Guangzhou party secretary Wan Qingliang is focus of film
A documentary produced by the Chinese Communist Party’s top anti-corruption watchdog Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) has offered a glimpse of the luxurious lifestyle of disgraced former Guangzhou party secretary Wan Qingliang.
The last of four documentary programmes aired last night – focusing on President Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption campaign – featured the lavish clubs Wan visited before his fall after graft allegations involving “serious violations of discipline” were confirmed.
The club in Guangzhou’s Baiyun district, has one luxuriously decorated room with a terrace large enough to accommodate 18 guests, Beijing Youth Daily reports.
The CCDI and China Central Television jointly produced the documentary as part of the party’s efforts to promote it “eight rules on official behaviour”.
Since May the party has banned its members from visiting private clubs or becoming members of exclusive restaurants, fitness centres and entertainment venues, Xinhua, the state-run news agency, reported.
