BEIJING (Reuters) - China gave former railways minister Liu Zhijun a suspended death sentence for corruption, state media said on Monday, in a case seen as a test of President Xi Jinping's resolve to crack down on pervasive graft.
Liu got the "death penalty with a two-year reprieve," for "bribery and abuse of power" from the Beijing No.2 Intermediate People's Court, China's official Xinhua news agency said, a sentence that typically amounts to life in prison.
