China expels two high-ranking military officers from the ruling Communist Party, state media report on Monday. The expelled generals are Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli. The reports say both were under investigation after authorities announced earlier they faced “serious violations of the law.” Xinhua also provides additional case details, including that the allegations involve corruption with “exceptionally large sums of money.”
The outlets frame the action as part of a broader anti-corruption campaign linked to President Xi Jinping’s rule. One officer, Zhang Youxia, is described as the more senior of two vice chairmen of China’s Central Military Commission, making him among the country’s highest-ranked generals. Across coverage, the core points are the party expulsions and the corruption investigations; the emphasis varies mainly in how much detail state media disclose, such as the scale of the alleged illicit funds.
While the reports agree on the expulsions and the stated basis for the investigations, they do not present further specifics about evidence or subsequent criminal proceedings in the provided material.
