SHANGHAI: Beijing has stripped two more generals in the People’s Liberation Army of their lawmaker status, as China continues a wider anti-corruption drive into the country’s military.
In a notice on Wednesday, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC) confirmed that Lieutenant General You Haitao, former deputy commander of China’s army, and Vice-Admiral Li Pengcheng, former naval commander of the PLA Southern Theatre Command, had been removed from the country’s top legislature.
