China announced on Feb 23, 2025 that it had expelled two former senior Tibetan officials from Yunnan from the Communist Party after being investigated for “serious violations of discipline and law.” This is the usual vague charge that China levels against everyone subjected to investigations.
The Chinese Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and National Supervisory Commission said the expulsion of Qi Jianxin, a former governor, and Jangchup (Jiang Chu), former vice governor, of Dechen (Diqing) Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture in Yunnan “seriously violated the Party’s political discipline”, were “disloyal and dishonest to the Party,” and made “illegal gains”. Their biographies indicated that they are Tibetan.
