Chinese government sacks official for 'casting spells'

'China has sacked two officials for practising "superstitious activities", including casting spells
with hopes of increasing promotion prospects.



Members of the ruling Communist Party are forbidden from following any religion and the government
punishes officials who practise what it regards as outdated folk beliefs.
State media said a county official in Hunan province was dismissed after asking others to set up an altar
so he could "cast spells".

The Xinhua agency said he "paid 100,000 yuan (£11,320) in tribute each time, with hopes of being promoted".
Meanwhile, another official was sacked for attending five fengshui training courses and claiming they were
business trips.

Tang Yuansong paid 54,000 yuan (£6,110) per session and claimed the costs back on expenses, Xinhua reported.
He also earned 5,000 yuan (£565) a year conducting fengshui for others, it said.
Both officials have been expelled from the party and will be investigated for suspected criminal acts...'
