China has launched an investigation of Defence Minister Dong Jun due to suspicion of corruption, according to reports.
Citing current and former US officials familiar with the situation, British newspaper The Financial Times said on Wednesday that Dong is the latest official to be caught up in a broad crackdown on corruption in the country’s military.

For the meantime, the report is unconfirmed. When asked about the FT report at a news briefing, Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Mao Ning said it was “chasing shadows”.
