WASHINGTON – The US believes Chinese Defence Minister Li Shangfu is the subject of an investigation and has been relieved of his duties, the Financial Times reported, a sign of potential further upheaval in President Xi Jinping’s government less than a year into his third term.
Last week, Mr Xi called for a “a high degree of unity” in the People’s Liberation Army, as rumours swirled about the defence minister in diplomatic circles. China’s military in July launched a corruption probe into hardware procurement going back to October 2017, without saying why that date was significant.
Mr Rahm Emanuel, the US ambassador to Japan, recently linked Li to those unexplained moves, saying in a post on X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, that the Communist Party official hadn’t been seen in public for two weeks. Mr Li was schedule to attend an annual meeting with Vietnamese defence leaders last week, but cancelled at short notice, Reuters reported on Thursday, citing three officials with direct knowledge of the matter. Beijing cited a “health condition” for the minister’s absence, two Vietnamese officials said.
