"[Xiao Yi] violated the concept of new development, abused his power to introduce and support enterprises to engage in virtual currency "mining" activities that do not meet the requirements of national industrial policies," said a CCP source.
Xiao's dismissal is directly related to his involvement in introducing and supporting companies to engage in virtual currency mining activities.
In addition, the Chinese government found Xiao guilty of abusing his influence to permit illegal profit-making activities including raising funds for projects and construction and accepting bribes.
