The Ministry of Human Resources confirmed his removal amid ongoing scrutiny into his conduct.

Wang Jianjun, the former vice chairman of the China Securities Regulatory Commission, has been officially removed from his position according to a statement from China's Human Resources Ministry released on Wednesday.

Wang's dismissal follows a formal investigation initiated by China's anti-graft agency, which placed him under scrutiny in April for suspected violations involving discipline and legal conduct.
