China sentences two former defence ministers to suspended death sentences for corruption
A Chinese military court sentenced former defence ministers Wei Fenghe and Li Shangfu to death with a two-year reprieve on corruption charges, meaning their sentences will be commuted to life imprisonment after two years. Both men were found guilty of bribery and had their personal assets confiscated. The sentencing is part of a broader anti-corruption crackdown under President Xi Jinping that has also affected other top military figures.
