Chinese official sacked after incriminating diary posted online

An official in south China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region has been sacked after his incriminating diary was posted online and drew extensive attention from netizens.

A statement from Guangxi's Tobacco Monopoly Bureau said Sunday that Han Feng, 53, head of the sales department of the bureau, had been expelled both from public post and the Party.

An initial investigation proved that Han took 482,000 yuan (70,613 U.S. dollars) and a 300,000-yuan apartment from companies contracted with refurbishment and construction of his office buildings when he worked in Qinzhou and Laibin cities from 2002 to February 2010.

Han's diary, which included sex relationships with five women, was posted online in February and spread quickly among Internet users.

Han was arrested on Saturday. The procuratorate of Nanning City, capital of Guangxi, is still investigating him.
