NextFin News -- Wang Jianjun, a Vice Chairman of China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC), is charged with taking bribes, according to a press release on the website of the Supreme People's Procuratorate.

The case was concluded by the National Supervisory Commission and transferred to the prosecutorial authority for examination and prosecution. The Supreme People's Procuratorate made an arrest decision against Wang on suspicion of bribery and has designated the Weifang City People's Procuratorate in Shandong province to review and prosecute. Recently, the Weifang City People's Procuratorate has filed a public prosecution against Wang, 58.

The prosecution alleges that Wang exploited the convenience of his positions as Deputy Director of the Yunnan Regulatory Bureau of the CSRC, Deputy Director of the Office of the CSRC, and Director of the Market Supervision Department to misuse his power for his personal gains. He allegedly colluded with other government employees to seek benefits for relevant units and individuals, illegally accepting substantial amounts of property from others. He should be held criminally liable for bribery according to the law.

On April 30, 2025, the website of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission reported that Wang was suspected of serious violations of discipline and law and is currently undergoing disciplinary review and supervisory investigation by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission. On May 21, 2025, the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security announced on its official website the dismissal of Wang from his position as Vice Chairman of the CSRC. In November 2025, Wang was expelled from the Party and dismissed from public office. 

Publicly available information indicates that Wang has worked in the securities regulatory system for nearly 28 years. In April 2016, Wang took office at the Shenzhen Stock Exchange as the General Manager. In 2021, after leading the SZSE for more than five years, Wang returned to the CSRC as Vice Chairman, becoming the youngest member of the leadership team at that time.
