Early life and education

[edit]

Wang was born in Yiyang, Hunan, in October 1963.[1]

Career

[edit]

Wang entered the workforce in 1986.[1] In April 1989, he became vice president of Central South Institute of Technology (now Central South University), he remained in that position until May 2000, when he was transferred to Hengyang and appointed vice president of University of South China.[1] In January 2003, he was chosen as party secretary of Zhuzhou Institute of Technology (renamed Hunan University of Technology in February 2006), concurrently holding the president position since May 2006.[1] In April 2016, he was transferred back to the University of South China and appointed party secretary, a post he kept until September 2019, when he was made party secretary of the Central South University of Forestry and Technology.[1] He retired in 2024.[1]

Downfall

[edit]

On 21 February 2025, Wang was put under investigation for alleged "serious violations of discipline and laws" by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the party's internal disciplinary body, and the National Supervisory Commission, the highest anti-corruption agency of China.[2] His deputy Liao Xiaoping [zh], president of the Central South University of Forestry and Technology, was sacked for graft six days ago.[1] On August 4, he was stripped of his posts within the CCP and in the public office.[3] On September 11, he was arrested by the Supreme People's Procuratorate for suspected bribe taking and corruption.[4]
