GAC chairman Zhang Fangyou taken away to assist investigation in Liu Tienan case
In June 2013, GAC chairman Zhang Fangyou was taken away to assist investigation because of involvement in the Liu Tienan case, and returned to his post about two months later; the Liu Tienan case judgment showed that Zhang Fangyou had, at Liu’s request, arranged for his son Liu Decheng to hold a nominal paid position at GAC. No personal sanction against Zhang Fangyou was seen, and he retired at retirement age in 2016.
