The Chinese communist regime’s minister of Industry and Information Technology was suddenly removed from office. Multiple news outlets said that before he was taken away for investigation, he tried to commit suicide, and his sudden removal from post might have something to do with different corruption cases.

On July 28, the regime’s Central Commission for Discipline officially announced that Xiao Yaqing was taken down from his Minister’s post for investigation for “violation of disciplines and law.” However, the official report did not mention the cause of his removal.
