Nine Chinese Generals Facing Corruption Probe. 

On Friday, the Chinese government expelled nine high-ranking generals from its military. According to a report in the BBC, the highest-ranking general that was sacked was He Weidong, who was the vice chair of the Central Military Commission (CMC); however, the political commissars of both the army and navy were also sacked. All of these men are alleged to have misappropriated large sums of money from the military for their own personal use. According to a reportin CNN, He was also a member of the Politburo, thus he would have very close ties to Xi.  It is unclear what will happen to their generals, but it wouldn’t surprise me if one of these generals had a “heart attack in a swimming pool” (a Chinese saying referring to when there is a death under mysterious circumstances).
