The 62-year-old Tian retired in December 2023. He is the first official at the level of deputy minister or above to be detained on corruption allegations in 2026. This case highlights China’s continued crackdown on corruption among the highest ranks of government.
This development may serve as a warning to other officials and underscores the government’s commitment to maintaining control and public trust through stringent anti-corruption measures.
