Chinese government official sues exiled tycoon Guo for defamation

BEIJING, Jul 22 (Reuters) A Chinese government housing vice-minister has lodged a 10 million dollar defamation lawsuit against controversial billionaire Guo Wengui in New York over claims made by the exiled tycoon that she had engaged in graft and provided sexual favours.
Huang Yan, vice-minister of housing and urban-rural development, filed the complaint with the New York State Supreme Court on Wednesday, saying Guo's "false and outrageous" claims, made in a video published on YouTube in May, had caused her "severe emotional distress" and "mental anguish".
