Biography
Zhang was born in Wuqiang County, Hebei Province. He graduated from the basic department of PLA National Defense University, and also studied at the Central Party School of the Chinese Communist Party, majoring in administrative management. He was the director of the political department and a standing committee member of the CCP committee of the Guangzhou Military Region. From September 2007 to December 2015, he was political commissar and Chinese Communist Party Committee Secretary of the Guangzhou Military Region. He attained the rank of lieutenant general in July 2006 and general in July 2010.[2]
Zhang was a member of the 17th and 18th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party and a deputy to the 10th National People's Congress.[citation needed]
Zhang Yang was under investigation by the Central Military Commission on August 28, 2017, for discipline violations and bribery.[3][4][5] He is believed to have committed suicide at his home on November 23, 2017, making him the most senior military figure to have done so during the ongoing graft investigations among PLA personnel.[6][7] On October 16, 2018, Zhang Yang was posthumously stripped of his rank and expelled from the CCP.[8]
