Disgraced Chinese admiral Miao Hua suspected of ‘legal violations'
China said that Miao Hua, a disgraced admiral and member of the powerful Central Military Commission (CMC), was suspected of 'legal violations', suggesting his wrongdoings were more serious than previously thought. The CMC's political work department decided to expel Miao from the top legislature in March for 'suspected serious violations of discipline and law', according to a statement from the legislature dated May 15. The statement was made public recently and first reported by the media this week. While his expulsion was reported in March, this is the first official acknowledgement of possible legal misconduct by Miao. Miao previously served as the head of the CMC's political work department – an influential position responsible for ideological control and personnel management within the People's Liberation Army. In late November, he was placed under investigation for alleged 'serious violations of discipline' – a type of misconduct that could lead to conviction on corruption charges. However, the recent mention of 'legal violations' suggests a potentially more severe accusation. No further details about the case have been disclosed, underscoring the sensitive nature of military investigations in China. Corruption cases involving the military are handled by a separate military justice system, which is more opaque compared to civilian institutions.
