China’s Ex-Chief of Food and Drug Watchdog Stripped of Political Advisory Post Amid Anti-Corruption Purge

Date:

China expelled Bi Jingquan, former head of the State Food and Drug Administration, from its top political advisory body on June 25, amid an anti-corruption purge that continues to zero in on Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials.

Bi was removed from his positions as a member of the standing committee and deputy director of the Economic Affairs Committee at the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC), according to a statement published on the CPPCC’s website.
