"The Ministry of Human Resources announced the news in a brief post on its website on Tuesday, citing a decision of the State Council, the highest body of state power in China."
"Since coming to power in 2012, President Xi Jinping has carried out a wide-ranging anticorruption campaign targeting tigers and flies, meaning high- and low-ranking officials."
"Last year, China investigated more than one million corruption cases and disciplined 938,000 people, according to its Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and National Supervisory Commission."
Sun Weidong has been removed from his position as vice minister of foreign affairs in China, part of a broader anticorruption campaign. The Ministry of Human Resources announced his dismissal without providing specific reasons or timing. His last public engagements included meetings with ambassadors from Brunei, Malaysia, and Pakistan. Such dismissals typically suggest high-level disciplinary actions and potential investigations. President Xi Jinping's anticorruption campaign has led to over one million investigations and significant disciplinary actions against officials at various levels, including military personnel.
