令计划
On December 16, 2014, as his former boss Ling Jihua fell under the axe of the anti-corruption campaign, Huo was abruptly appointed Deputy Director of the China National Tourism Administration, and essentially meaningless position likely contrived to rid the General Office of Ling associates and pave way for a wider investigation into Ling's inner circle. Huo remained in that position for barely a month, until January 2015, when state media announced that he would be investigated for suspected "serious discipline and law violations".
