The former vice-mayors of Hangzhou and Suzhou were both executed earlier this morning after having their death sentences upheld by courts earlier this year, according to an announcement from China's Supreme People's Court. Xu Maiyong, the former deputy mayor of Hangzhou, was originally sentenced in May this year and lost his appeal in June.
