Liu Beixian, the retired former head of the Chinese regime’s mouthpiece, China News Service, has been stripped of his Chinese Communist Party (CCP) membership. His politically significant downfall came less than a month after the regime introduced a new leadership lineup under Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
State mouthpiece People’s Daily made the announcement on Nov. 13, which reported that the decision was made by the discipline unit at the United Front Work Department—a subversion agency that targets mainland and overseas Chinese.
