China Expels Two Top Military Generals Over Corruption and Disloyalty Allegations
China has expelled two senior military officials, General Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli, from the Communist Party and the military over serious violations including disloyalty, corruption, and dereliction of duty. Both were investigated since January and removed from the Central Military Commission in August. The expulsions, approved at a Politburo meeting chaired by President Xi Jinping, are part of his ongoing anti-corruption campaign targeting the military. The officials were accused of forming factions, abusing power, and accepting large sums of money.
