Announcement and status
Zhao Yanxiao, Hu Yuping and Wonderful Agency were charged on 28 May 2026 over alleged false occupation or salary declarations and a kickback. Zhao’s 14 applications comprised 12 employment and two salary counts; the agency faced corresponding counts.
Case details and examples
