Steamy diary goes online

A CHINESE official has been arrested on suspicion of taking bribes after his steamy diary describing casual sex, drinking parties and corruption appeared online.

Han Feng, 53, was arrested for allegedly taking 482,000 yuan in bribes between 2002 and 2010 while working for the tobacco bureau in southern Guangxi region.

Han’s case, dubbed “Diarygate” by the Chinese media, is part of a continuing battle by the Communist Party against deep-seated corruption.
