Xi Jinping Purges Two Top Generals in Broad Anti-Corruption Drive

China expelled two senior generals, Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli, from the Communist Party amid a wide anti-corruption crackdown led by Xi Jinping. Official reports say they violated political discipline, formed factions, and were disloyal; no crimes were detailed. Zhang, formerly vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, was seen as Xi’s ally, while Liu was the Joint Staff Department’s chief of staff. Their removal highlights the ongoing military purge and tightening party control ahead of a major party gathering and a U.S. meeting.

New Hungarian PM Wins €16.4B EU Funding Boost Amid Reform Drive

The European Commission unlocked €16.4 billion in EU funds for Hungary under new prime minister Péter Magyar, contingent on anti-corruption and rule-of-law reforms. About €10 billion comes from the Covid Recovery Fund with milestones, and €6.4 billion from cohesion funds to upgrade health, transport, energy grids, and education; Erasmus will resume for students, signaling a shift since Viktor Orbán’s era and a broader wind of change across Hungary.

Magyar’s swift start pushes Hungary onto a reformist track toward Europe

Magyar’s decisive win signals a shift away from Orbán’s regime, enabling Brussels to lift sanctions and release Ukrainian funding while pressing Hungary to deliver judicial reform and anti-corruption measures; with a two-thirds majority, constitutional changes are possible, but allies tied to the old system may shield ill-gotten gains, making it crucial to protect liberal voices and sustain momentum for rule-of-law reforms.

Magyar Moves to Dismantle Orban’s Network, Sets May Deadline for Loyalists

Hungary’s new prime minister Peter Magyar pledges to dismantle the Orban-era patronage network, ordering resignations of Orban-appointed figures in the judiciary and oversight bodies by May 31 and signaling constitutional changes if needed; the aim is to curb corruption and end the so-called 'opposition-proof' state. Early moves include pressure on allied figures, with reports of asylum-seeking associates like Poland’s Ziobro, and potential scrutiny of influential businessmen tied to the old regime, as Magyar and his allies seek to realign Hungary’s political and regional ties within the Visegrad framework.

China hands suspended-death sentences to two former defense ministers over bribes

China hands suspended-death sentences to two former defense ministers over bribes

A Chinese military court sentenced ex-defense ministers Wei Fenghe and Li Shangfu to death with a two-year reprieve for bribery (Li’s case included both accepting and offering bribes). Such sentences are commonly commuted to life, reflecting President Xi Jinping’s ongoing anti-corruption purge and moves to consolidate loyalty within the top ranks, including a dramatically downsized Central Military Commission. Li Shangfu has since been replaced by Dong Jun as defense minister; the broader political motive remains to strengthen Xi’s control, with unclear policy disagreements shaping the cases.

Anti-corruption suit says Trump-backed TikTok deal enriched allies and skirted law

A new suit filed in the D.C. Circuit by the Public Integrity Project claims President Trump and Attorney General Bondi violated a 2024 anti-propaganda law by approving a TikTok U.S. sale to a Trump-backed investor group (Oracle, MGX, Susquehanna, General Atlantic), arguing the deal enriched Trump allies and left ByteDance in control of the algorithm while Oracle controls the data.
