NEW YORK: China’s top general is suspected of passing secret information about the country’s nuclear weapons program to the US, according to a report in the Wall Street Journal, which cited unidentified people familiar with a high-level briefing on the allegations.
Zhang Youxia (pic), 75, is also accused of accepting bribes for official acts, including the promotion of an officer to the post of defence minister, the newspaper reported on Sunday (Jan 25). The briefing was held before China’s Defence Ministry announced on Saturday that it was investigating Zhang, WSJ said.
