China's military is investigating a general who worked at a prominent military university on suspicion of graft, Chinese media reported on Tuesday, as Beijing widens its crackdown on corruption in its armed forces.
Major General Dai Weimin, 52, was "taken away" in the middle of November by military prosecutors, according to a report by respected news magazine Caixin. Dai was a deputy dean at the People's Liberation Army Nanjing Political College.
The Caixin report, referenced by the official China Daily newspaper, said authorities suspect Dai of taking "huge bribes" related to land and construction projects. There was no indication of any response by Dai or his representatives.
