China's Communist Party Sacks Ex-Defense Ministers Over Corruption Charges | Firstpost America
In a recent move indicating a widespread crackdown within the country's leadership, China has expelled two former Defense Ministers from the ruling Communist Party on charges of corruption. The actions taken against Li Shangfu and his predecessor, Wei Fenghe, come after a series of changes at the top of the world's largest military. This apparent purge coincides with Beijing's tensions with the US regarding Taiwan, and President Xi Jinping consolidating his authority. Earlier this month, the Chinese leader acknowledged "deep-rooted issues" in the Chinese military as he continues his ongoing anti-corruption campaign, even within the highest levels of the party.
