What happened
The outlets' own sentences, most widely reported first. Hover one for who reported it.
Zhang and Liu “seriously violated political discipline and political rules, formed cliques and factions, and were disloyal and dishonest to the party”, Xinhua cited official documents as saying.
China has expelled two top military generals from the Chinese Communist Party on suspicion of corruption and other serious misconduct, becoming the latest senior officials to fall afoul of a significant anti-corruption push by President Xi Jinping.
One of them, Zhang Youxia, was widely seen as President Xi Jinping's closest military ally and was the senior of the two vice chairs of the top military body in China.
