General Li Shangfu is the second Chinese official to disappear this year. His exit from government follows that of the country's ex-foreign minister.
China's defence minister, who has been missing from public life for nearly two months, has been removed from his post, according to state media. General Li Shangfu was appointed to the role during a cabinet reshuffle in March but he has not been seen publicly since giving a speech on 29 August. Gen Li, 65, is the second senior Chinese official who has disappeared this year and his ousting comes after that of former foreign minister Qin Gang, who was dismissed in July.
The move essentially signals the end of their political careers, but it is unclear if they will face prosecution or any other legal proceedings. A replacement for Gen Li has not been announced, leaving China without a defence minister as it prepares for the arrival of foreign officials for the Beijing Xiangshan Forum on 29 October. The removals have raised questions about the power of Xi Jinping, China's current president and ruling Communist Party leader.
