🚨 Big shake-up in the Chinese mainland's military: Nine high-ranking officers have been kicked out of the CPC and the armed forces over serious discipline and legal breaches.
Among them: He Weidong, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC) and member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee, and Miao Hua, CMC member and former director of the CMC's Political Work Department.
Their cases—accused of alleged crimes—have now been handed off to the military’s procuratorial organs for formal examination and prosecution, Zhang Xiaogang, spokesperson of the Chinese mainland's Ministry of National Defense, announced on Friday.
This move underscores the CPC’s strict stance on discipline and the rule of law within the military. Even top brass aren’t immune from accountability.
Stay tuned as more details emerge on how this will reshape military leadership and the CPC’s ongoing governance efforts. ⚖️
