BEIJING, Nov 8 (Reuters) – Chinese President Hu Jintao said

on Thursday that corruption in the ruling Communist Party must

be severely punished, no matter how senior or powerful the

person.

The party has expelled senior regional leader Bo Xilai and

accused him of abusing his office, taking huge bribes and other

crimes in a dramatic fall from power that has shaken the

leadership transition at the 18th Party Congress.
