China executes official involved in country's largest corruption case

China executed Li Jianping, a former Inner Mongolia official, for embezzling over $421 million, the largest corruption case in the nation's history. His death sentence, initially issued in 2022, was upheld this August and carried out Tuesday following Supreme People's Court approval. This execution highlights President Xi Jinping's ongoing anti-corruption campaign, which has targeted over a million officials since 2012.
