From the South China Morning Post, via Asia Media:
A deputy governor of Hunan apparently tried to kill himself at his home in Changsha last week after being questioned by inspectors from Beijing, making him the most senior official in the country to attempt suicide.
Sources said Zheng Maoqing, 60, had been admitted to hospital but was no longer in a critical condition, the Beijing-based Gong Yi Shi Bao, or Public Interest Times reported.
The newspaper said Mr Zheng had severed “arteries and veins” while cutting himself about the body last Wednesday after being questioned in the morning by the Central Discipline and Inspection Committee.
