Chinese President Xi Jinping appoints new military anti-corruption chief

Chinese President Xi Jinping has appointed Zhang Shuguang as the new head of the Central Military Commission’s Discipline Inspection Commission, the top military anti-corruption body. Zhang, promoted from lieutenant general to full general, replaces Zhang Shengmin, who had been overseeing the unit since 2022. The appointment follows an ongoing anti-corruption campaign within the People’s Liberation Army, which has resulted in the removal of several high-ranking officials. Additionally, two former defense ministers received suspended death sentences, while other senior figures such as Liu Zhenli and Miao Hua are under investigation, leaving Xi and Zhang Shengmin as the only remaining members of the commission.
