BEIJING: A Chinese academic who sat on a government anti-monopoly advisory committee has been sacked, the country's official news agency Xinhua reported on Wednesday, saying he had taken payments from US chipmaker Qualcomm Inc.
Xinhua said Zhang Xinzhu, a member of the top government think-tank the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the cabinet's anti-monopoly experts committee, took "huge rewards" from Qualcomm, itself the subject of an antitrust investigation. The news agency did not say specifically what the payments were for.
