California's second-highest compensated public employee was Christopher Ailman, CIO of the California State Teachers' Retirement System, who earned roughly $1 million in total pay according to Transparent California.
CalPERS and Meng had been under pressure from Rep.
Jim Banks
, R-Ind., about ties to
China
since earlier this year.
"Not only did CalPERS increase its investments in Chinese Communist Party affiliated companies while Yu Ben Meng was at the helm, we have now learned he was personally invested in companies with ties to the Chinese Communist Party," Banks previously told FOX Business in a statement.
After Meng's resignation, California’s Fair Political Practices Commission said in August it would
investigate
allegations involving Meng.
Meng's resignation came after a post from the financial blog
Naked Capitalism
claiming he committed a felony by filing "demonstrably false financial disclosure documents."

Meng left "to focus on my health and on my family and move on to the next chapter in my life," he said in a
statement
in August.
Meng started at CalPERS in 2008 but left, eventually becoming deputy CIO of China’s State Administration of Foreign Exchange.
CalPERS declined to comment to FOX Business.
