Yang Xiaowei, a former high-ranking political figure and deputy director of the Committee on Education, Science, Health, and Sports of the 14th Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference National Committee, has been expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) and dismissed from public office. The announcement was made on Monday by the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the National Supervisory Commission. Yang, 62, was found to have engaged in severe misconduct, including accepting bribes, gifts, and prepaid cards, attending banquets that compromised his impartiality, and leveraging his position for personal and familial gain. His actions violated Party discipline and constituted serious breaches of duty, leading to his expulsion and the transfer of his case to judicial authorities for prosecution. Yang’s career spanned significant roles in China’s telecommunications sector, including leadership positions at China Unicom and China Telecom Group, before transitioning to governmental and advisory roles. His expulsion underscores the CPC’s ongoing efforts to enforce discipline and combat corruption within its ranks.
