China’s Defense Minister Li Shangfu was fired on Tuesday two months after he disappeared from public view, becoming the second high-profile minister to lose his job recently without any official explanation.
Li was also removed from his positions as a member of the Central Military Commission – a powerful body headed by Chinese leader Xi Jinping who ultimately commands the armed forces – and as one of China’s five state councillors – a senior position in the cabinet that outranks a regular minister, state broadcaster CCTV reported Tuesday.
The decision was approved by the standing committee of the country’s rubber-stamp legislature, the National People’s Congress, according to CCTV. The committee did not name any successor to Li.
I mean if you don’t show up for work for two months, you shouldn’t be surprised when you get fired…
Probably didn’t vanish for 2 month because he wanted to.
What is it with this generation and all the excuses? Boohoo, my alarm didn’t go off, my car wouldn’t start, I was perceived as a threat to the leadership of the CCP and kidnapped in the night. Back in my day, you show up to work on time no matter what, no excuses. This guy deserved to be fired.
You ever been black bagged by your employer before?
I’m so tired of these millennials and their excuses. Grow up, put on your big boy pants, find your way out of the Chinese black site, and get your ass to work on time. Stop blamiglng everyone else for your problems. If your going to skip work everytime you run into a little inconvenience like being targeted for a political kidnapping, well don’t be surprised if your employer gives you the boot.
Do they serve avocado toast at the black site?
Worst seven years of my life
Worse swag ever.
