Upon the approval of the CPC Central Committee, the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) and the National Commission of Supervision (NCS) had conducted an investigation into Ding's case, according to a statement by the CCDI and NCS.
The investigation found that Ding had lost his ideals and convictions, and resisted an official inquiry and investigation of his case, said the statement.
