The purge of military officials in Beijing continues ahead of the annual Two Sessions political gathering.

BEIJING: China’s top political advisory body has voted to remove three generals, state media said, a week after nine military officials were ousted from its legislature.

The move comes as Beijing escalates a sweeping purge of military officials, days before thousands of delegates from across the country meet for the annual Two Sessions political conclave on Wednesday.

Simultaneous gatherings of the country’s top legislature, the National People’s Congress (NPC), and a separate political advisory body, the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), will be held over the course of a week.
