Nine top generals were removed from Beijing’s rubber-stamp parliament last Friday.

The purge of several commanders from China’s legislature was the latest sign of widening investigations focused on the sensitive arms sector, experts say.

Nine high-ranking Chinese military figures were recently removed as delegates to the country's Communist Party-run legislature, without official explanation. The move indicates that President Xi Jinping's latest offensive to root out alleged corruption and other misconduct in the People's Liberation Army has been gaining momentum and is focused on the politically sensitive agencies responsible for developing weapons and military installations.

Even as Chairman Xi Jinping promised that Taiwan would be "reunified" with the mainland, China's newly appointed defence minister was making himself comfortable in the office of his predecessor, who disappeared after being ensnared in a scandal.

The Post’s tally shows the anti-corruption watchdog detained a record 45 high-ranking officials last year, the most since Xi Jinping’s corruption crackdown was launched in 2013.
