On November 12, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate of China announced that the Chenzhou City Procuratorate in Hunan Province has initiated a formal prosecution against Han Song, the former Party Committee member and Deputy General Manager of China Resources (Group) Co., Ltd., for his involvement in a bribery case. Prior to this announcement, the Hunan Provincial Procuratorate had made the decision to arrest Han Song on charges of bribery.
According to the accusations, Han Song allegedly took advantage of his various positions to secure benefits for others while unlawfully accepting large sums of money and property. His roles included serving as the Deputy Director and Director of the Human Resources Department of China Power International Development Limited, the Deputy Director of the Human Resources Department of China Huadian Corporation, and the Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, General Manager, Secretary of the Party Committee, and Chairman of Huadian Xinjiang Power Generation Company. The report emphasizes that the scale of the bribery is particularly significant, warranting criminal responsibility for the offense.
Han Song’s career has predominantly revolved around the power industry, beginning with early employment at the China Huadian Group’s Human Resources Department, where he served as Deputy Director.
From 2018 to 2019, Han took on a role as the Deputy District Mayor of Fengtai District in Beijing on a temporary basis. Upon completing this assignment, he returned to the China Huadian Group and assumed positions such as Chairman, General Manager, Legal Representative, and Secretary of the Party Committee at Huadian Xinjiang Power Generation Company. He later advanced to the role of Assistant General Manager at China Huadian Group.
On July 13, 2024, Han Song became the Deputy General Manager of China Resources Group. Following his entry into the group, he was directly responsible for the operations and management of two core segments: China Resources Power and China Resources Gas, solidifying his control over the core management of the energy sector within the group.
On January 16, 2026, China Resources Group held its annual work meeting in Shenzhen, where Han’s absence drew attention. This starkly contrasted with the previous year’s meeting on January 6, during which Han had participated as the group’s Deputy General Manager.
Just a week later, on January 24, 2026, Han officially resigned from his position as a member of the 13th Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region, a resignation that received approval.
By February 9, 2026, the group’s official website removed Han Song’s personal information from the management section, signaling significant changes in his status.
On February 28, the authorities announced that Han had voluntarily reported himself and was under investigation, marking him as one of the first high-ranking officials, referred to as a “tiger,” to be targeted after the Lunar New Year celebrations in the Year of the Horse.
On July 25, 2026, it was announced that Han Song had been expelled from the Party and dismissed from his official posts.
Public records indicate that Huadian Xinjiang Company was established in July 2006 and is wholly owned by China Huadian Group. This group is one of five state-owned power generation enterprises in China, which include Huaneng Group, Datang Group, Huadian Group, Guodian Group, and State Power Investment Corporation.
