Another official fall in corruption-hit Shanxi Province

Li Jiangong, the head of Bureau of Land and Resources in north China's Shanxi province, is being investigated after being suspected of "severe disciplinary and law violations," said a statement published on the website of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on Thursday.

The probe into Li is the latest in a string of investigations into Shanxi's high-ranking provincial leaders.

Shanxi is one of the major coal producers in China and contributes greatly to the country's energy supply.
