Guangzhou court chief lambasted for 'business trip'

GUANGZHOU: Internet users once again proved they will leave no stone unturned to expose corrupt government servants, when they published online an investigation report of an overseas "business trip" undertaken by top officials of the Guangzhou Maritime Court earlier this year.

The president of the maritime court surnamed Luo led a group of six officials, including the court's vice-president, surnamed Huang, to a 12-day trip to South Africa, Egypt and Turkey from Jan 7 to 18.

The group spent more than 487,000 yuan ($71,000) of taxpayers' money during the trip.
