Since 2009, senior military official Fang Fenghui was in charge of orchestrating China’s grand military parades, a mighty show of the country’s defense powers. That year, notably, was the 60th anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party seizing power.
However, this high-ranking official met his downfall on Jan. 9, when the Chinese regime announced that Fang will be prosecuted for bribery.
