Zhang Yang, a former member of the Central Military Commission (CMC) and former head of the CMC Political Work Department, was expelled from the Communist Party of China (CPC) for multiple violations, according to a military statement released Tuesday.

The property involved in Zhang's case will be confiscated in accordance with laws and disciplines, said the statement.

The CMC had decided to expel Zhang from the military and strip him of his rank of general, it said.

Zhang committed suicide at his home in Beijing on Nov. 23, 2017 after authorities launched an investigation into his links to two corrupt former senior military figures Guo Boxiong and Xu Caihou.

Upon the approval of the CPC Central Committee, the CMC has conducted an investigation of Zhang's case.

The investigation found that Zhang had violated the Party's political discipline and rules, organizational discipline, and discipline on upholding integrity, as well as national laws and regulations.

He was also suspected of offering and accepting bribes and holding a huge amount of property from unidentified sources, said the statement, describing Zhang's case as "extremely serious" with "extremely vile" influences.

Disloyal to and dishonest with the Party, Zhang was a person of duplicity who was politically decayed, economically greedy, living a degenerate life, had bad behavior, and showed no signs of restraint after the 18th CPC National Congress, said the statement.

Zhang committed suicide in an attempt to evade the punishment of Party discipline and state laws, it added.
