China's Defense Minister General Wei Fenghe speaks at a plenary session during the 19th International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) Shangri-la Dialogue, Asia's annual defense and security forum, in Singapore on June 12, 2022. China has expelled two former defense ministers from the ruling Communist Party over accusations of corruption that are likely to lead to sentences of life in prison. The Defense Ministry on Thursday, June 27, 2024, said Li Shangfu abused his authority to enrich himself by taking bribes in exchange for granting favors. Li's predecessor, Wei Fenghe, was also accused of similar charges. (AP Photo/Danial Hakim) **FILE**
