|November 28, 2024
Chinese defence minister Dong Jun has been placed under investigation for corruption, a report said on Wednesday, the latest official to fall in a sweeping crackdown on graft in the country's military.
-
Citing current and former US officials familiar with the situation, British newspaper the Financial Times said the investigation into Dong was part of that broader probe into military corruption.
If confirmed, Dong would be the third Chinese defence minister in a row to fall under investigation for corruption.
Asked about the report at a regular briefing on Wednesday, Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said it was just "chasing shadows" and did not offer further information.
