Explained: Why The Chinese Communist Party Has Expelled Two Former Defence Ministers
In an unprecedented move, China announced the expulsion of two disgraced former Defence Ministers of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), General Wei Fenghe and his successor Li Shangfu.
This follows the abrupt dismissal of Shangfu from the post of Defence Minister after a short stint of just seven months. He succeeded Wei Fenghe who served from till
Similarly, Qin Gang, China's shortest-serving foreign minister, was also removed.
This was announced in a high-profile member meeting of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) held on Thursday (28 June).
These expulsions come as part of the so-called anti-corruption drive of Chinese President Xi Jinping where several of the high-ranking officers of the PLA, the foreign ministry, and even the highly strategic Rocket Force (PLARF) were removed from their positions on account of corruption and bribery.
According to reports, in the inquiry against Shangfu held by the Chinese Military Commission (CMC), it was found that Shangfu accepted gifts and large sums of money in exchange for favours, apart from giving bribes himself.

China has expelled two former defense ministers, Li Shangfu and Wei Fenghe, from the ruling Communist Party amid allegations of corruption, which could result in life imprisonment, the official Xinhua News Agency reported Thursday.
The Defense Ministry announced Thursday that Li abused his authority for personal enrichment through bribery, while his predecessor, Wei, faced similar charges.
President Xi Jinping, who also heads the armed forces as chairman of the Central Military Commission, has made combating corruption a central tenet of his administration. This latest action underscores his ongoing efforts to clean up the military leadership. Li's investigation for corruption and bribery follows his removal from office in October after a two-month disappearance.
"He sought improper benefits in personnel arrangements for himself and others, took advantage of his posts to seek benefits for others, and accepted a huge amount of money and valuables in return," reported Xinhua News Agency.
The ministry's statement provided limited details about the allegations against Li, only noting that his crimes posed "an enormous danger." Li, a specialist in missile and procurement branch
