The decision to remove Li came following a vote by top lawmakers in China, the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress.

The committee reportedly also opted to leave Li's position as defense minister vacant, which served a mostly ceremonial role.

NBC reports that Li, an aerospace engineer and military general, was a high-profile member of the Chinese government prior to his disappearance.

.

While western media has speculated that Li was under investigation for corruption, no explanation has been given for his removal.
