BEIJING (Reuters) - A senior military officer who sits on China's powerful Central Military Commission, which is headed by President Xi Jinping, is being questioned on suspicion of corruption, three sources familiar with the situation said.

Fang Fenghui had been chief of the Joint Staff Department of the People's Liberation Army until he was replaced late last month, with no official word on what had happened to him, whether he had taken up another post, or had retired.
