Former Politburo member Ma Xingrui dismissedMa Xingrui dismissed after corruption investigation
Chinese former Politburo member and Xinjiang party chief Ma Xingrui has been removed from the party and dismissed from public office following an anti-corruption investigation, the state broadcaster said on Tuesday.
This high-profile removal underscores Beijing's continued crackdown on graft within its top leadership ranks.
- Ma Xingrui was nominated to the Politburo in 2022 after overseeing a decade of Xinjiang security operations.
- Xinjiang produces over 40% of China's cotton and holds massive reserves of oil and natural gas.
- The anti-corruption agency that investigated Ma was established in 2018 to strengthen oversight of party members.
