BEIJING • Fang Fenghui, a senior Chinese general who sat on China’s powerful Central Military Commission, will be prosecuted on suspicion of bribery, the official Xinhua news agency said yesterday.
China’s military, which is the world’s largest and is in the midst of an ambitious modernisation campaign, has been an important focus of President Xi Jinping’s battle to stamp out corruption.
Xinhua’s brief dispatch, which gave no other details, is the first official confirmation of the graft investigation since a Reuters report last September that Fang was being questioned on suspicion of corruption.
