The Standing Committee of China's National People's Congress (NPC) confirmed Saturday that Su Rong, a former senior political advisor, has been dismissed from his post as an NPC deputy.

Su, former vice chairman of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) National Committee, was disqualified as a deputy to the country's top legislature by the Jiangxi Provincial People's Congress Standing Committee on Sept. 25.

In late June, Su was removed from his post as the CPPCC National Committee vice chairman after being probed for suspected disciplinary violations.

Born in 1948, Su is a native of northeast China's Jilin Province. From 2001 to 2013, he served successively as Party chief of Qinghai, Gansu and Jiangxi provinces.

Su was one of the top-level officials being investigated for corruption and other serious disciplinary violations. They have been vividly compared to "tigers" in the Communist Party of China's anti-corruption campaign.
