☆ China Strips Missing Defense Minister of Government Posts
  + stars: | 2023-10-24 | by ( Chun Han Wong | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Li Shangfu hasn’t made a public appearance since late August and U.S. officials say the Chinese Defense Minister is being ousted from his post. Li is the latest of several senior Chinese officials to disappear without explanation. Photo: How Hwee Young/ShutterstockSINGAPORE—China removed its defense minister just seven months after he took the job, the second time in three months that Chinese leader Xi Jinping abruptly axed a minister he had handpicked for his third-term government. Gen. Li Shangfu’s removal came eight weeks after his last public appearance, an absence that has fueled speculation about his fate and prompted Western officials to raise concerns about China’s increasingly opaque governance under Xi and the ruling Communist Party.

☆ Li Shangfu: Where is China's defense minister? Beijing keeps silent
  + stars: | 2023-09-28 | by ( Steven Jiang Simone Mccarthy | Steven Jiang | Simone Mccarthy | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
Li’s disappearance follows a series of unexplained personnel shakeups that have roiled the upper ranks of China’s ruling Communist Party this summer, including the ousting in July of former Foreign Minister Qin Gang. The Financial Times reported that the US government believes the defense minister has been placed under investigation, citing American officials. Li, who was sanctioned by the US in 2018 over China’s purchase of Russian weapons, is still listed as China’s defense minister, one of its five state councilors, and a member of the party’s powerful Central Military Commission (CMC). Beijing has never issued an explanation for Qin’s removal nor said that the former minister was under investigation. China’s State Council Information Office has not replied to queries from CNN on the matter.
