Former Tibet chairman Qizhala is region’s latest official to be snared in corruption crackdown

The former chairman of Tibet has been placed under investigation for alleged corruption as part of a wider crackdown in the western Chinese region.
The investigation into Qizhala comes at a sensitive time with the exiled Dalai Lama expected to announce succession plans later this year.

Qizhala chaired the Tibet autonomous region’s government between 2017 and 2021.

China’s top anti-graft agency, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), said on Thursday he was under investigation for “severe violations of law and Communist Party discipline”, the standard euphemism for corruption.

The region’s former party chief, Wu Yingjie, was placed under investigation last year, and expelled from the party and removed from public office last month.

The CCDI said Wu had been “ineffective in carrying out the party’s policies for governing Tibet in the new era and excessively involved himself in engineering projects for personal profit, significantly affecting high-quality development in Tibet”.
