BEIJING (Reuters) - China's foreign ministry, responding to a question about a report saying the Chinese Defence Minister Dong Jun has been placed under investigation for corruption, said on Wednesday that it was "just shadow-chasing".

Ministry spokesperson Mao Ning made the reply at the regular news briefing, after the Financial Times reported that Dong was under investigation as part of a wide-ranging anti-corruption probe that has roiled the top ranks of the People's Liberation Army.
