As executives from Chinese tech giants come under increasing scrutiny, a former vice-president of Chinese online short-video sharing firm Kuaishou has been arrested for alleged corruption, the company said on Thursday.
Zhao Danyang, a former vice president responsible for content business, was arrested in September 2020, along with two subordinates, Kuaishou told media.
The arrests were first reported by local media on Wednesday. Kuaishou did not give details or say if Zhao was still vice-president when arrested.
Chinese tech companies have doubled down on corruption investigations in recent years, amid an anti-graft campaign by President Xi Jinping and as their valuations and profiles have soared following a tech boom.
