The removal of General Zhang Youxia and General Liu Zhenli leaves only two active members on the formerly seven-member state Central Military Commission: President Xi Jinping and anti-corruption chief Zhang Shengmin

China expelled Central Military Commission members Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli from the Communist Party and military over alleged corruption, disloyalty and factional activity. Their removal leaves only Xi Jinping and one other active official on the formerly seven-member commission. The allegations have been announced by Chinese authorities but not tested through transparent judicial proceedings.
