Vice Admiral Li Hanjun, chief of staff of the People’s Liberation Army Navy, and Liu Shipeng, deputy chief engineer at state-owned China National Nuclear Corporation, have been expelled from the National People’s Congress (NPC).
Li is the latest of a string of PLA generals and a handful of defence industry executives to have been implicated in a sweeping crackdown in the military.
In a statement on Friday, the NPC Standing Committee said: “The Navy Servicemen’s Congress decided to dismiss Li Hanjun from his position as a representative of the 14th National People’s Congress.”
The people’s congress of Gansu also dismissed Liu Shipeng as an NPC deputy, it added.
