China investigates Guangxi government head over suspected disciplinary violations
Lan is the second regional or provincial-level head to be investigated in less than two months, after the same body launched a probe into the governor of northern Shanxi province in April.
The Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) said in a statement that Lan is suspected of "serious violations of discipline and law", a term that generally refers to corruption.
The statement did not give details of the suspected violations.
Reuters could not reach Lan to seek comment.
It is uncommon for a sitting official of Lan's rank to be investigated without first being removed from their post.
Lan, 62, became chairman of Guangxi in 2021. He last appeared in public during an inspection tour focused on ecological and environmental protection in three cities across the region on May 10-11, according to the official Xinhua news agency.

Homeowners could pay new property tax instead of stamp duty
Homeowners with properties worth more than £500,000 could have to pay annual property taxes under radical plans to replace stamp duty. The Treasury is reportedly considering a proportional property tax in the budget this autumn, according to The Guardian. Rather than paying stamp duty (which ranges from 2 per cent on the purchase price between £125,000 and £250,000, through to 12 per cent on the portion of the price above £1.5 million) anyone buying a home worth more than £500,000 would face an annual tax. For years there have been calls to overhaul stamp duty, which raised £13.8 billion for the Treasury in the 2024-25 tax year but has been criticised for putting homeowners off moving. There are no firm details to the proposal, but it was reported that the Treasury was looking at suggestions from the centre-right think tank Onward, which would involve homeowners with properties worth more than £500,000 paying a 0.54 per cent annual tax on any value above £500,000. Professor Tim Leunig from the London School of Economics, who came up with the proposals last August, said: 'The way Britain taxes households is both impractical and unfair. Stamp duty raises transaction costs, preventing people from moving for new job opportunities, and undermines growth.' Any home worth more than £1 million would pay 0.81 per cent on the portion of its value over that threshold. Onward's proposals were that the new tax would not be applied retrospectively but would be paid by anyone who bought a home after it was introduced. The 5 per cent stamp duty surcharge for additional homes would remain and those owners would not pay annual levies. Leunig also proposed scrapping council tax and replacing it with a 0.44 per cent annual property tax levied by local authorities on house value between £800 and £500,000 (a maximum of £2,196 a year). Then you would pay 0.54 per cent on the portion above £500,000 to the government, instead of stamp duty. Someone with a £650,000 home would pay £3,006 a year — 0.44 per cent of £499,200 (the maximum £2,196) to their council and then another £810 a year to the government. • Read more money advice and tips on investing from our experts Treasury officials are reportedly considering a local property tax 'in the medium term' according to the Guardian, while replacing stamp duty could come earlier. The campaign group Fairer Share is calling for the abolition of stamp duty and council tax and for them to be replaced with a flat 0.48 per cent annual property tax. Andrew Dixon from Fairer Share said the reported plans would be a 'step in the right direction'. 'We look forward to working closely with the government to deliver long-overdue reform — creating a modern property tax system that supports local services, reflects real property values, and shares the burden more fairly across homeowners,' he said. The Times reported in May that 83 per cent of homeowners in England would pay less under a 0.48 per cent annual property tax than they did under the council tax system. The biggest losers would be those in London and the south east according to the estate agency Hamptons. House prices in those areas have gone up the most since April 1991, when council tax bands were set based on property values. Dixon said: 'By taxing property transactions, stamp duty discourages homeowners from moving — be it an older couple downsizing or a growing family upsizing. Removing it would lead to a more effective use of housing.' Some 85 per cent of homeowners in England and Wales were 'under-occupiers' with one or more spare bedrooms, according to a survey of more than 4,300 by Barclays. Of those, 73 per cent were over 45, and 37 per cent were over 65. The proportion of homebuyers who were 45 or older has fallen from 45 per cent in the 2015-16 tax year to 39 per cent in 2023-24, according to the estate agency Savills. Some 41 per cent of 2,000 homeowners aged over 55 polled by the estate agency Jackson-Stops said they would downsize within two years if stamp duty was reduced or removed. David Fell from Hamptons said: 'Who is better off will come down to how closely the government chooses to follow any recommendations. But I think in response to the general principle, the shift would probably cut the cost of buying the most expensive homes, but add to the annual cost of ownership, particularly given the artificially low levels of council tax charged by many places that have the most expensive house prices. 'The impact of a change to the system would probably depend on the level at which the rates were set, and the length of time it takes for the higher ownership charges to outweigh existing stamp duty and council tax bills.' The Treasury said it did not comment on speculation about the budget.

China to continue stimulating consumption, premier says
HONG KONG, Aug 18 (Reuters) - China will continue to boost consumption and protect people's livelihoods, expanding the country's positive growth trend, Premier Li Qiang told a State Council plenary meeting on Monday. Li, whose comments were broadcast by China's state broadcaster China Central Television, said authorities would strive to achieve the full year economic growth target set at roughly 5%. China would "remain calm and actively respond to various uncertainties", Li said, noting a "severe and complex external environment." A temporary trade truce reached by China and the United States in mid-May - and extended last week by a further 90 days - has prevented U.S. tariff rates on Chinese goods from returning to prohibitively high levels. However Chinese manufacturers' profits continue to take a hit from subdued demand and factory gate deflation at home. Li said China needed to strengthen domestic consumption and continue to stimulate the country's consumption potential by cleaning up restrictive measures and accelerating new growth areas such as services. Li added that China should adopt "forceful" measures to consolidate the stabilising trend in the country's housing market. He said it was necessary to make greater efforts to stabilise employment, ensure people's livelihood as well as ensure overall stability for society.
