China expels two top generals from Communist Party in anti-corruption purge
He Weidong, China’s number two general, and Miao Hua, the Chinese army’s top political officer, were expelled from the party for “serious violations of discipline and law”, said the country’s defence ministry.
Excerpt:
Two top Chinese military leaders have been expelled from the ruling Communist Party and the military on corruption charges, the country’s defence ministry said on Friday (Oct 17), the most senior officers to be purged in an anti-graft drive that began in 2023.
He Weidong, China’s number two general, and navy admiral Miao Hua, the Chinese military’s former top political officer, are the latest senior military officials to be targeted in a campaign against corruption in the People’s Liberation Army.
He’s removal is the first of a sitting general on the Central Military Commission since the 1966 to 1976 Cultural Revolution. He has not been seen in public since March, but the investigation of his activities had not previously been disclosed by Chinese authorities.
PRESIDENT XI “CLEANING HOUSE”, SAYS ANALYST
He, Miao and seven other senior military officials named in the announcement “seriously violated party discipline and are suspected of serious duty-related crimes involving an extremely large amount of money”, defence ministry spokesperson Zhang Xiaogang said.
Their offences were “of a grave nature, with extremely detrimental consequences”, the statement added, calling it a “significant achievement in the Party and military’s anti-corruption campaign”.
The expulsion of He, 68, has implications beyond the military, as he also sat on the 24-member Politburo, the ruling Communist Party’s second-highest echelon of power.
One of two vice-chairmen of the commission, the general is the third-most powerful commander of the People’s Liberation Army and has been considered a close associate of President Xi Jinping, the army’s commander-in-chief.
The announcement came just days before the Communist Party’s Central Committee, an elite body of 200-plus senior officials, is due to hold its fourth plenum in Beijing. More personnel decisions, such as the expulsion of Central Committee members, are expected to be formalised at the meeting.
“Xi is cleaning house for sure. The formal removal of He and Miao means he will get to appoint new members of the Central Military Commission - which has been virtually half empty since March - at the Plenum,” said Wen-Ti Sung, a fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Global China Hub.
......The other officials named include He Hongjun, a former senior official at the PLA Political Work Department, Wang Xiubin of the Central Military Commission’s Joint Operations Command Centre, former Eastern Theatre Command commander Lin Xiangyang, and two former political commissars of the PLA Army and Navy. Observers have noted that many of these officials were missing from public view for several months.
Former People’s Armed Police commander Wang Chunning, also named in the statement, was removed from the national legislature last month, along with three other PLA generals.
The Pentagon has said He played a key role in planning live-fire drills around Taiwan after Nancy Pelosi, then the speaker of the US House of Representatives, angered China by visiting Taipei in August 2022. The exercises were the most aggressive moves Beijing has made against the island in recent years.

Hope it meant UNentangle it.
