China has taken action against its former Defense Minister Li Shangfu, expelling him from the ruling Communist Party due to corruption allegations. This decision comes eight months after Li was abruptly removed from his post, adding to a series of high-level purges within the country's military.
Li, who also served as a former member of the influential Central Military Commission, was ousted in October last year without a clear explanation. His disappearance from public view for two months raised concerns and led to his removal from office.
