China removed five top military generals from parliament amid ongoing investigations into misconduct, ahead of key political meetings.

Amid ongoing military investigations, China removed five senior generals from the People's Liberation Army, including former commanders of the Navy and Ground Force, from the National People's Congress. Other military officers and provincial officials were also impacted by the NPC Standing Committee's announcement of the dismissals. Although no explanation was given, the action comes after investigations into suspected wrongdoing by senior military officials. Prior to China's significant yearly political gatherings, the leadership is reorganizing to address market volatility and the country's economic slowdown.
