China’s Top Legislature Confirms Ousted Military Officials Violated ‘Discipline and Law’

What’s new: Nine ex-senior military officials removed from the National People’s Congress (NPC) in December were ousted for suspected “serious violations of discipline and law,” according to an official announcement.

The legislature used the phrase, typically employed by Communist Party graft-busters as a euphemism for corruption, for all nine officers in a NPC Standing Committee communique published in January.
