Wei Xiaodong, former chairman of the Beijing Municipal CPPCC Committee, Jiangxi Governor Ye Jianchun, and Liu Jianyang, member of the Standing Committee of the Jiangsu Provincial Party Committee and head of its Organization Department, have successively been placed on file for review and investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission.
An online tip-off claims that investigators found more than 200 large suitcases at Ye Jianchun's residence, each containing 1.6 million yuan in cash, totaling 320 million yuan, and says he was forcibly questioned on August 25 and his residence was searched on the 26th.
Ye Jianchun, a member of the 20th CCP Central Committee and Party Secretary of Jiangxi Province, is reported to have been taken down; the related handling is described as removing one Central Committee vote from the commander's camp before the Fifth Plenum.
On August 27, 2026, Xinhua News Agency relayed a report from the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission: Ye Jianchun, Deputy Secretary of the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee and governor of the province, is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law and is undergoing disciplinary review and supervisory investigation — only 3 days after he presided over the provincial government's executive meeting.
On August 24, 2026, three days before he was placed under investigation, Jiangxi Governor Ye Jianchun called for further tightening of the approval process for one-time provincial-level funds.
Ye Jianchun presided over the meeting on promoting the rectification of national statistical inspection feedback, stating that there is no room for bargaining and that all requirements must be accepted in full.
Xu Yanbin has served as Secretary-General of the Jiangxi Provincial Government since March 2023, a tenure that fell during the period when Ye Jianchun was governor of the province.
Ye Jianchun was elected as a member of the 20th CCP Central Committee on the list of members of the 20th CCP Central Committee announced on October 22, 2022.
Ye Jianchun was transferred to Jiangxi in 2021.
Ye Jianchun was promoted to Vice Minister of Water Resources in 2017.
