The Central Committee also confirmed personnel changes as stated in the statement, with the phrase “one special person drawing specific attention.”
As commonly anticipated, the expulsion of former defence secretary Li Shangfu from the CCP for was endorsed. On June 27, the first official notification from the state media was that Li and his successor Wei Fenghe had been kicked out of the party for” severe violations of control.”
For the first time, the report at the time revealed the nature of his acts, claiming that he was suspected of receiving “huge sums of money” in money as well as bribing another. He even did not realize “political tasks” and” sought staff benefits for himself and others”.
In addition to Li, the removal of prominent People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force commanders Li Yuchao and Sun Jinming were formalized during the second chamber for “grave breaches of Party control and state laws.”
Dong Jun, the current defense minister, was never appointed to the elite Central Military Commission during the next chamber as some experts had predicted. He succeeded Li two weeks after hissacking.  ,
The recent corruption scandals “appear to have eroded the political strength of the defense,” according to Mr. Neil Thomas, a colleague on Chinese politics at the Asia Society Policy Institute.
However, it was Qin Gang’s resignation from the central committee that probably drew the most questions, especially given the language used in the communication.
Qin was fired from his position after only seven months due to rumors that he had an extramarital affair that might have harmed national safety, making him the country’s shortest-serving foreign minister in recent history.  ,
The central committee had accepted his resignation from the body, but the communique called him a” comrade” or” tongzhi” in Chinese. The phrase is frequently used by CCP individuals, and analysts have taken advantage of what appears to be intentional language.
According to Mr. Thomas, “it could be suggested that Xi has the political capital to protect his one-time protege from stronger punishment” and that his administrative infractions were more personalized than social.
President Xi himself chose Mr. Qin after his chosen. He was regarded as a close ally of the Chinese president before his death, and he had quickly risen up the political hierarchy.
” Xi’s ability to advance his policy objectives, condemn the defense, and protect Qin Gang suggests that he remains in solid power of the Communist Party”, said Mr Thomas.
