"China's top statistician was sacked after anti-corruption investigations implicated him in the Shanghai pension fund scandal, a spokesman for the National Bureau of Statistics said on Thursday....More than 100 central government anti-corruption investigators have descended on Shanghai in recent months to investigate money reportedly drained from the city's 10 billion yuan ($1.25 billion) social security fund for illicit loans and investments....The probe led to the dismissal of Chen Liangyu as Shanghai Communist Party boss last month. Chen was the first member of the party's 24-member decision-making Politburo to be sacked since 1995 when Beijing party chief Chen Xitong was purged and jailed for corruption. The two Chens are not related."
