China's top procuratorate announced on Friday that it had approved the arrest of Zhao Jinyun, former vice-governor of Gansu province, on suspicion of bribery.
The Supreme People's Procuratorate released the announcement on its website, adding that the case is still under further investigation.

In December 2022, she became the provincial vice-governor.?Last month, she was dismissed from public office.
Previous investigations found that Zhao reportedly engaged in a series of illegal activities, including accepting banquets that could affect the impartial exercise of public power, failing to truly report personal matters, seeking benefits for others in the selection and appointment of officials and accepting gifts and money.
She also allegedly engaged in profit-making activities in violation of regulations and used her position to seek benefits for others in project contracting and fund allocation, illegally accepting huge amounts of money and gifts.
