Chinese general kills himself after facing graft probe
BEIJING: A Chinese general has killed himself in his Beijing home after becoming the latest top official ensnared by President Xi Jinping?s sweeping anti-corruption campaign, state media said on Tuesday.
Zhang Yang, a member of the state?s Central Military Commission, was being investigated over connections to two graft-tainted former senior military officers when he hanged himself on November 23, according to the official Xinhua news agency. Xi promised during last month?s Communist Party congress to intensify graft crackdowns which have already brought down 1.5 million party officials of various levels -- including top military brass -- since 2012. Zhang, 66, was previously head of the state military commission?s political work department. Before the congress, he was also part of the Communist Party?s Central Military Commission. Members of the two bodies overlap. According to Xinhua, which cited a commission statement, Zhang "gravely violated disciplinary protocols and broke the law, was suspected of bribery as well as taking bribes, and holding valuable assets whose origins are unclear." A posting on a social media account managed by the People?s Liberation Army Daily, the military?s official newspaper, accused Zhang of "escaping responsibility" via suicide. "The once-high-and-mighty general has ended his life in this disgraceful way," the post said on Tuesday, calling Zhang a "two-faced" person who "shouted loyalty from his mouth while committing corruption behind his back". أكثر... ??????? ??????: Chinese general kills himself after facing graft probe || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
