A Chinese publisher best known for discovering The Three-Body Problem, the award-winning sci-fi novel recently adapted into a hit Netflix series, is under investigation for corruption.
Yao Haijun, deputy editor-in-chief of the influential magazine Science Fiction World, is accused of “severe violations of Communist Party discipline and law”, authorities in Sichuan province said, using the usual official euphemism for corruption.
The announcement was published on Wednesday on the website of the Sichuan anti-corruption watchdog, which cited a disciplinary review by its science and technology department. The department had assigned the city discipline inspection body of Luzhou to carry out the review, the notice said.
No further details were given.
Yao, 58, began his career in science fiction publishing more than three decades ago.
