In the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) latest sacking of a top official accused of serious corruption, the wording of the admonishments was so severe that the Party called it “rare and unusual.”
After the CCP ’s anti-corruption watchdog agency announced on Feb. 13 that the head of the Cyberspace Affairs Administration, Lu Wei, has been stripped of his post and his Party membership, an online publication affiliated with People’s Daily, the CCP’s mouthpiece newspaper, called the agency’s descriptions of his crimes “most ruthless” and “unusually severe, clearly showing that his problems are serious.”
