China ex-vice governor gets death for graft BEIJING (Reuters) - A Chinese court sentenced a disgraced provincial vice governor to death on Monday for accepting bribes and because he could not account for assets which outstripped his income, state media said. Wang Huaizhong, a former governor of the central province of Anhui, was the latest in a string of officials convicted as part of an intensified campaign against corruption. "In the face of irrefutable evidence, he indulged in sophistry in every possible way and refused to admit guilt," the official Xinhua news agency quoted the the People's Intermediate Court in the northern city of Jinan as saying. "His attitude was disgusting and he was severely punished in accordance with the law." The court convicted Wang of accepting bribes totalling 5.17 million yuan ($623,000) between September 1994 and March 2001, Xinhua said. reuters.com
