Zhou Jiankun, former deputy secretary and vice chairman of the Guizhou Provincial Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, was sentenced in the first instance of the bribery case. Zhou Jiankun was sentenced to life imprisonment for accepting bribes, deprived of political rights for life, and sentenced to personal confiscation.
