ZHENGZHOU: Governments of two cities in Henan Province are investigating claims that their Beijing liaison offices spent almost $100,000 on luxury liquor that turned out to be fake.

Heads of the two offices have also been reprimanded by the municipal governments of Luohe and Xuchang, officials said.

According to media reports, the two offices spent more than 660,000 yuan on 777 bottles of Kweichow Moutai, the top liquor in China, in early February.
