China's top legislature on Friday approved a report on dismissals of lawmakers from their posts as deputies for the National People's Congress (NPC).
The lawmakers include Xu Qianfei, former president of Higher People's Court of east China's Jiangsu Province. He was disqualified as an NPC deputy in July for serious violation of the Party's code of conduct.
Li Gang, former deputy director of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office of the State Council, was stripped of NPC membership in August after being investigated for discipline violations.
Wang Sanyun, former vice chairman of the Education, Science, Culture and Public Health Committee of the 12th NPC, was disqualified as an NPC deputy in July for discipline violations.
The report also confirmed the dismissal of five other NPC deputies for violations of Party's code of conduct, namely Li Zhijian, Bo Guangxin, Yang Tianran, Peng Jianwen and Zhang Bawu.
The total number of NPC deputies currently stands at 2,904.
