HONG KONG (Reuters) - China's campaign to root out deep-seated corruption has now extended into the shipping industry, after the country's largest bulk shipper, China COSCO Holdings Co Ltd, said the government was probing one of its top executives.

Vice president Xu Minjie was "under investigation by the relevant authorities", COSCO said in a brief statement to the Shanghai stock exchange on Thursday, using shorthand generally used in China to describe corruption probes.
