He was appointed head of Sasac in March this year, after a 7-year stint as the chairman of CNPC. It is unclear if the investigation is related to a series of high-profile arrests and probes involving senior executives at CNPC in the last few years. <\/p>\n<p>The Post reported on Friday that top Communist Party leaders have reached a consensus to start a graft probe into Zhou Yongkang, the Party&#8217;s former security tsar and a member of the its top power club, the Politburo Standing Committee. Jiang is known as a long-term protege of Zhou&#8217;s. Both had decades-long careers in China&#8217;s oil industry and at CNPC.    <\/p>\n<p>Last year, Jiang&#8217;s name had also appeared in a secret Party investigation into a bizarre accident which killed the son of Ling Jihua, a top aide of former president and Party leader Hu Jintao.
