Gong Wusheng (Chinese: 龚武生; born August 1956) is a former Chinese politician who served as party secretary of Loudi from 2011 to 2016, and mayor of Yongzhou from 2005 to 2011. As of May 2020, he was under investigation by China's top anti-corruption agency. Gong crossed paths with and was known to be a close ally of Qin Guangrong.[1] He was a delegate to the 11th National People's Congress.

Biography

Gong was born in Xintian County, Hunan, in August 1956. During the late Cultural Revolution, in April 1975, he became a sent-down youth in his home-county. After graduating from Lingling Normal School (now Hunan University of Science and Engineering) in 1980, he stayed at the school and worked in its Communist Youth League.

He joined the

Hunan People's Congress Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee
, and served until his retirement in January 2018.

Downfall

On 9 May 2020, he was put under investigation for alleged "serious violations of discipline and laws" by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI), the party's internal disciplinary body, and the National Supervisory Commission, the highest anti-corruption agency of China.[3] One month later, his successor Li Jianguo was also placed under investigation for "serious violations of discipline and laws".[4] Four consecutive party secretaries of Dao County, Gong Wusheng, Gao Jianhua (高建华), Yi Guangming (易光明) and Tang Xianglin (唐湘林), were sacked for graft one after another.[5] On November 2, he was expelled from the Communist Party. On November 18, he was detained by the Henan Provincial People's Procuratorate.[6] On December 18, he was indicted on suspicion of accepting bribes.
