China Eastern's former chairman has been sentenced to 14 years in prison in a bribery case involving more than $10 million. The court says Liu Shaoyong sold favors over a period stretching from 2002 through 2023, using positions at both China Eastern and China Southern. He'd left China Eastern in 2022 with a glowing sendoff from the board. Nearly three years later, the Communist Party announced it was investigating him.
