The Chinese regime has expelled former Chongqing police chief Wang Lijun from the Communist Party, Chinese media reported on Thursday. The Chongqing Daily newspaper reports that the decision came from the Communist Party's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and was approved by central authorities. It alleged Wang had committed serious violations of Party discipline. Wang has also been dismissed from his official positions. Though his expulsion comes weeks after his trial, the timing is not unusual. NTD Senior China Analyst, Heng He, says that, quote, “Before or after the legal process, the suspect or the criminal would be expelled from the party and fired from his government position.” Wang was sentenced on September 24th to 15 years in prison for abuse of power, defection and taking bribes. In addition to those crimes, Thursday's media reports alleged that Wang had accepted expensive items from others and abused his position to engage in inappropriate relations with a number of women. Wang Lijun set off a political scandal in February after he fled to the US Consulate in the city of Chengdu. The US State department is being urged to release any information Wang may have provided during his stay about the Chinese regime's alleged involvement in the forced organ harvesting of prisoners of conscience, including Falun Gong adherents.
