Once again there are allegations of corruption against a Chinese minister – and once again it concerns the Ministry of Defense: According to a report, Dong Jun has been the subject of a corruption investigation. The proceedings are part of a larger investigation into corruption within the Chinese military, reported the Financial Times. A spokeswoman for the Foreign Ministry in Beijing described the report as a „witch hunt“ and did not comment further. In previous cases, Beijing also initially did not want to know anything about the case and did not comment on it.
