China’s defence minister Dong Jun under investigation for corruption: Report

Dong&nbsp, succeeded Li as military secretary in December 2023. Seven months after taking the work, Li was fired from his position in October 2023.

It was reported in June this year that Li and his predecessor&nbsp, Wei Fenghe were expelled from the&nbsp, Chinese Communist Party&nbsp, for” significant violations of control”, using a metaphor for fraud.

According to state media company Xinhua, Li was suspected of receiving “huge sums of money” in money as well as other types of gifts.

Since Wei’s replacement in the Cabinet change in March 2023, he has vanished from public view. &nbsp,

He was defence minister from 2018 to 2023 and mind of the strategic&nbsp, People’s Liberation Army Rocket Force from 2015 to 2017.

President Xi Jinping this fortnight directed the military to improve its “war-preparedness” and a further crackdown on alleged bone in the armed forces over the past month.
