I disagree with this framing, because we knew for a fact that his name was removed from the AVIC website without any explanation.

If it was a retirement/transfer, someone as celebrated as him would've no doubt received honors/ovations (well deserved). Even if it wasn't a highly publicized retirement, there would be no doubt that the yankee/shilaos of the world would've been able to debunk any rumors of investigations.

By your logic, Qin Gang resigning from the public role of Foreign Minister without any follow on announcement of his improprieties (and subsequently reappearing publicly, as a free person, months after the initial 'resignation') would also qualify as 'we had no indications of impropriety for him to begin with'. Because, officially, Qin Gang was not investigated, nor was he convicted.

You may as well claim Qin Gang had a serious bout of disease, and resigned to a cushy/lower level role elsewhere. (Like, technically you would be right this is a *possibility*, but the *probability* is rather farfetched.)

Or, in a more recent example, in the case of Ma Xingrui, whose last official announcement was that he relinquished his role as the XUAR Party Secretarty, but still retains his title as a Politburo member. While he's not shown up to Politburo/official meetings recently, you can very well claim that he's deathly ill in bed, because, if we used the 'we have no official announcement of his impropriety' standard, there hasn't yet been any official announcement of impropriety. (I make a similar argument vis a vis *possibility* vs *probability*)



Yes you're absolutely right on this point.

However, as a separate point, I will say that because the Chinese/CPC system is well known for recognizing the

' - meaning that just because someone wasn't sentenced/convicted, it doesn't mean that said person did not do anything that would've been unacceptable if someone else did it - as we well know the contributions of Yang Wei, the 'bar' for him is very much likely higher than another person.

From this perspective, one can very much argue that someone like Yang Wei could've gotten away with more - and the result was a typical "高高举起, 轻轻放下".

A Nato official also confirmed that the PLA would meet representatives from its international military staff. “Nato and China maintain regular dialogue, on both civilian and military channels, to build reciprocal transparency with a view to safeguarding the alliance’s security interests,” the official said.

China unveiled the ATLAS strike system, which launches a swarm of drones. The ATLAS system uses ATLUSS-A140 drones from China Electronics Technology Corporation. The drones are launched from a SWARM II launcher at 5-second intervals and automatically locate their targets. It's worth noting that no air defense system in the world can currently counter a drone swarm. A single launcher can launch up to 48 drones of various types. Drones fly at speeds of up to 100 km/h and have a flight time of up to 60 minutes. Drone swarms represent a new stage in the development of drones as a new type of weapon.
