New details are emerging on Zhang Qingli, the renegade Communist Party official implicated at the center of a plot to murder the Dalai Lama. Sources with credible access to such information report that Zhang is under investigation for corruption during his tenure with the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps. Chinese officials at diplomatic posts in the United States and Canada are quietly looking into luxurious homes, and other investments, allegedly acquired with the laundered proceeds of Zhang's graft schemes by members of his extended family.
