China Strips Generals, Ex-Regulator of Lawmaker Posts
The move strips the officers of National People’s Congress membership as Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption drive continues to reach the military’s top ranks.
- On Friday, the Standing Committee of China's National People's Congress removed six senior military lawmakers, former financial regulator Yunze, and Politburo member Xingrui from their posts, according to state-run Xinhua News Agency.
- President Xi Jinping continues a sweeping overhaul of the People's Liberation Army that has intensified since 2022, reaching senior officers across the Army, Navy, and Rocket Force.
- Those removed include General Xueqiang from the Equipment Development Department, General Fengbiao from the Western Theater Command, and General Guo Puxiao from the Air Force, alongside Wang Kangping, Zhang Minghua, and Yin Hongxing.
- Officials did not announce criminal charges or investigations regarding the six officers, though previous removals of senior military deputies have often preceded formal disciplinary announcements by the regime.
- Military appointments and dismissals have become increasingly frequent under Xi Jinping, who has repeatedly emphasized that the PLA must remain absolutely loyal to the CCP, while the regime provided no response to comment requests.
