Corruption: Next former minister expelled from the CCP
For the third time this year, a former minister has been expelled from the Communist Party. After Li Shanfu and Wei Fenghe, who were successively responsible for the defense ministry, former Minister of Agriculture Tang Renjian is the latest to be hit. The 61-year-old was under investigation for "serious violations of discipline and law," a euphemism for corruption. The proceedings were initiated just six months ago. Tang was ousted from office in May.
