A CPC key meeting Thursday endorsed prior decisions to revoke the membership of six former officials.

    They are Li Dongsheng, former vice minister of public security; Jiang Jiemin, former head of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission (SASAC) of the State Council; Yang Jinshan, deputy commander of the Chengdu Military Area Command of the PLA; Wang Yongchun, former vice general manager of the China National Petroleum Corp.; Li Chuncheng, former deputy Party chief of Sichuan Province; and Wan Qingliang, former Guangzhou Party chief.
