China's central bank is currently verifying media report accusing a state-owned commercial bank of breaching the country's money-laundering rules, a spokesman said Thursday.
"We have noticed the media report about a commercial bank's cross-border renminbi businesses, and are verifying related facts," said the unnamed spokesman of the People's Bank of China.
