The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) voted on a group of personnel changes, including the removal of Cheng, it said in a statement without elaborating, after a Friday meeting in Beijing, reports Nikkei Asia.
In December 2022, Cheng, a rear admiral in the PLA Navy, assumed the office of the president at the military court.
Before being appointed as the president of the military court, he was elected as a member of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection during the Communist Party's 20th National Congress in October last year.
Previously, he was the prosecutor-general of the PLA's military procuratorate in 2021 after serving less than a year as the political commissar of the southwest Sichuan provincial command, reports Nikkei Asia.
