The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) expelled Tang in November 2024, following an investigation by the anti-graft watchdog that led to his removal from the ministerial post three months earlier. Prior to his role as Agriculture Minister, Tang served as Governor of Gansu Province from 2017 to 2020.
The court stated that Tang’s actions caused significant harm to China’s governance system, though his cooperation led to a mitigated sentence. President Xi Jinping has repeatedly flagged corruption as a major threat to the CCP, noting its persistent rise.

Since 2020, Xi’s anti-corruption campaign has targeted thousands of officials, including senior leaders like Tang, to ensure a “loyal, clean, and reliable” system. This swift investigation, following probes into figures like former Defense Minister Li Shangfu, underscores the CCP’s resolve to combat corruption.
The case highlights the deep-rooted issue within China’s political and economic systems. After the two-year suspension, Tang’s sentence may be commuted to life imprisonment or another penalty, but the verdict sends a strong message about the CCP’s stringent anti-corruption stance.
