COVID-era Wuhan party boss under investigation, says China's anti-graft watchdog

Wang Zhonglin, the former party chief of Hubei and Wuhan, is under investigation for corruption. This follows his earlier prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly appointed as Wuhan's top official in February 2020. He served as governor of Hubei in 2021 and later became the highest-ranking official in the province. Additionally, several other senior officials from pandemic-era Hubei have faced investigations and serious consequences.
