What’s new: Dong Yunhu, a former head of the Shanghai legislature, pleaded guilty to accepting 148 million yuan ($20.4 million) in bribes over a 21-year period in office, a court said.
Dong, 62, stood trial on Thursday at the Hefei Intermediate People's Court in Anhui province, eastern China. He is the first provincial-level senior official to be tried this year on corruption charges.
