China has removed six senior PLA officers from the country’s top legislative body, reports the South China Morning Post. This is the latest sign that the country’s military anti-corruption campaign is not slowing down.
According to a late-night notice issued by the National People’s Congress Standing Committee on Friday, 13 members of the legislature had been removed and one had resigned. Aside from the six generals, those removed also included a former top financial regulator and the former Xinjiang Communist Party chief.
Of the seven members of the Central Military Commission named at the party’s national congress in 2022, only two remain–Chinese leader Xi Jinping and the PLA’s anti-corruption chief, Zhang Shengmin.
