Two former Chinese defense ministers, Wei Fenghe and Li Shangfu, have been sentenced to death with a two-year reprieve for corruption, during a widespread anti-corruption campaign in the military that has led to the dismissal of several high-ranking officials, amidst concerns that such tactics may also serve to eliminate political rivals under President Xi Jinping's administration. #Corruption #China #MilitaryLeadership #CN

魏鳳和、李尚福被判死緩 中國兩任前國防部長因貪污腐敗下獄 - BBC News 中文
中國官方媒體報道,兩名前國防部長因貪污腐敗罪名被判處死刑,緩期兩年執行。 中國軍事法院星期四(5月7日)裁定,魏鳳和與李尚福被判死刑,緩期兩年執行。新華社報導,這意味著他們的死刑緩期執行兩年後,將降級為無期徒刑,且不得減刑或假釋。 兩人均被認定犯有受賄罪,其全部個人財產被依法沒收。 此次通報發布之際,中國正展開大規模反腐行動,近期已有多名高階軍方人士被免職。 魏鳳和於2018年至2023年擔任國防部長,並於2023年3月由李尚福接任。 李尚福擔任國防部長的時間則要短得多。 他於2023年10月被免職,在此之前兩個月,他突然從公共視野中消失,引發外界對其遭撤換的揣測。 今年2月,中國國家主席兼中共中央軍事委員會主席習近平罕見公開提及軍方的整肅行動,中國最高軍事將領張又俠最近也因此被免職。 習近平當時表示,軍隊在反腐鬥爭中「經受革命性鍛造」。 自上台以來,習近平已多次發起反腐運動,批評人士指出,這些行動同時也被用作清洗政治對手的工具。.
