              China Telecom Chairman Resigns Amid Corruption Probe

   by Associated Press

   A major Chinese telecommunications company says its chairman has
   resigned following an announcement that he is under investigation by
   the country's anti-corruption agency.

   China Telecom Ltd., one of the country's three main state-owned phone
   companies, said Wednesday that Chang Xiaobing resigned effective
   immediately. Its chief operating officer, Yang Jie, was named to fill
   the post until a new chairman is appointed.

   The Chinese anti-graft agency said Sunday that Chang was suspected of
   "serious violations," its term for corruption.

   Dozens of executives of state-owned companies have been charged or
   questioned in a 3-year-old anti-corruption crackdown.
