Officials ordered to quit club following outcry

More than 30 Chinese government officials have been ordered to relinquish their membership of a luxurious golf club in the wealthy eastern city of Wenzhou after a torrent of online criticism, state media reported.

The Wenzhou Golf Association (WGA) charges $58,583 for membership - about 40 times the average annual income of farmers in Zhejiang province, where Wenzhou is located.
