In recent years, there have been a large number of senior executives from state-owned enterprises and central enterprises in China being investigated. The latest case involves Han Song, a member of the party committee and vice president of China Resources (Group) Co., Ltd., who is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law. Han Song took the initiative to turn himself in and is currently under investigation.
On February 28, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission website reported that Han Song is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law, voluntarily surrendered himself, and is currently undergoing review and investigation. The report did not provide specific details about the allegations against Han Song.
On February 9, the leadership list displayed on the “Company Management” page of China Resources Group’s official website no longer included Han Song’s name.
Public records show that Han Song holds the title of senior engineer professor and has a Master’s degree in Business Administration from Baylor University in the United States. His career has primarily focused on the energy sector, having previously served as Assistant General Manager of China Huadian Corporation Ltd. and Chairman and General Manager of Huadian Xinjiang Power Generation Co., Ltd., during which he also held the position of Deputy District Head in Fengtai District, Beijing.
In July 2024, Han Song was appointed as Vice President by the board of directors of China Resources Group, while Wang Chuandong was relieved of his duties as Vice President.
According to China Resources Group’s disclosure of compensation for the year 2024, Han Song received a pre-tax income of 352,700 yuan from the company in 2024, totaling 630,700 yuan including social insurance, corporate pensions, etc.
Throughout 2025, Han Song made frequent appearances as Vice President of China Resources Group, mainly overseeing comprehensive energy business, specifically managing the operation and administration of China Resources Power and China Resources Gas sectors, while also coordinating the group’s work on safety production, environmental protection and low-carbon initiatives, and technological innovation.
On May 9, 2025, Han Song conducted a research visit to China Resources Sichuan New Energy Company; on June 4, he conducted research in Hong Kong on the comprehensive energy business development of China Resources Gas; and on October 20, he chaired a meeting of the China Resources Group Northwestern Regional Working Group.
On January 16, 2026, China Resources Group held its annual work meeting in Shenzhen, but Han Song was absent from the list of group leaders reported in the meeting; on January 24, Han Song resigned as a member of the 13th Xinjiang Committee of the CPPCC and received approval. This resignation came just 8 days after his absence from the group’s annual work meeting.
According to notifications issued by the Chinese Communist Party’s disciplinary system, in January and February 2026, 7 ministerial-level leaders, around 30 deputy ministerial-level and lower-ranking officials, and 9 military officers have been investigated.
The scope of the notifications covers central financial regulatory departments, national energy groups, deputy mayors at the municipal level, organization department directors at the county level, as well as former deputy directors of public security bureaus in autonomous regions.
With Han Song’s downfall, the number of high-ranking officials in the central management cadre publicly reported by the Chinese Communist Party’s disciplinary system has reached 13 since 2026.
