Since mid-April, a tip-off letter about Xiao Fei, a senior doctor at the chest surgery department of China-Japan Friendship Hospital, a major public-funded institution in Beijing, has gone viral on mainland social media.
The letter written by his wife, surnamed Gu, who is also a doctor from another top hospital, disclosed misdeeds in Xiao's personal and professional life.
This prompted Xiao's employer to issue a statement on April 27, saying that based on its investigation, the accusations against Xiao in Gu's letter were true.
China-Japan Friendship Hospital said it has decided to sack Xiao and kick him out of the Communist Party.

Trump admin launches review of Aukus submarine pact with Australia and UK
US President Donald Trump's administration has launched a formal review of a defence pact worth hundreds of billions of dollars that his predecessor Joe Biden made with Australia and the United Kingdom, allowing Australia to acquire conventionally armed nuclear submarines, a US defence official said. Advertisement The formal Pentagon-led review is likely to alarm Australia, which sees the submarines as critical to its own defence as tensions grow over China's expansive military build-up. It could also throw a wrench in Britain's defence planning. The Aukus security alliance is at the centre of a planned expansion of its submarine fleet. 'We are reviewing Aukus as part of ensuring that this initiative of the previous administration is aligned with the president's America First agenda,' the official said of the review, which was first reported by the Financial Times. 'Any changes to the administration's approach for Aukus will be communicated through official channels, when appropriate.' 02:52 China warns Aukus against going down 'dangerous road' over nuclear-powered submarine pact China warns Aukus against going down 'dangerous road' over nuclear-powered submarine pact Aukus, formed in 2021 to address shared worries about China's growing power, is designed to allow Australia to acquire nuclear-powered attack submarines and other advanced weapons such as hypersonic missiles.

US Treasury chief slams ‘unreliable' China at House hearing on Trump trade policy
US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent slammed Beijing on Wednesday for its aggressive export policies, urged it to be a more dependable partner and depicted China's disjointed economic structure as hurting not only the US but the entire globe. 'China currently has the most unbalanced economy in the history of the world,' Bessent, a former hedge fund manager, told the powerful House Ways and Means Committee. 'They cannot be allowed to export their way back to prosperity, not only for working Americans but for working citizens around the world.' Noting his return hours earlier from two days of negotiating with China in London, Bessent said this week's bilateral agreement offered Beijing a chance to become a more balanced economic player. The deal could also help China boost its domestic consumption rather than extend a long-standing pattern of excessive production distorting the global economy, according to the Treasury secretary. But Bessent urged vigilance. 'China has proven an unreliable partner,' he testified before adding that 'we will see' if it is more reliable this time.
