Ex-armed police chief Wang Ning ousted from China’s top advisory body

General Wang Ning, a former commander of China’s paramilitary force, has been removed from his senior political advisory roles. He was stripped of his position as a standing committee member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and vice-chairman of its foreign affairs committee. This marks the third consecutive head of the People’s Armed Police to fall from grace in the past 15 years.
