Wen Qingshan, a supervisor at PetroChina (0857.HKG, 601857.SHA) and a director and chairman of Kunlun Energy (0135.HKG), has stepped down due to “personal matters” after just four months in the roles, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a statement made by China National Petroleum Corporation (CNPC) on Tuesday. Both companies, which are publicly listed arms of CNPC, said there weren’t any other matters that needed to be brought to the attention of its shareholders. The 54-year-old executive, who also had positions at CNPC, was originally named Kunlun’s chairman after PetroChina disclosed in August that his predecessor, Li Hualin, was under investigation by Chinese authorities for “severe disciplinary violations.”
