BEIJING, Feb 5: The governor of a major Chinese province has been accused of disloyalty to the ruling Communist Party and removed from his post, amid a growing consolidation of power by President Xi Jinping that some have likened to a personality cult. Deposed Sichuan Governor Wei Hong joins a long list of those sidelined in a sweeping crackdown on dissent, civil society and corrupt officials. Unusually, the accusations against Wei made no mention of graft. He was accused only of violating "party discipline," not of breaking the law, demoted to a vice departmental post and removed from his party duties. ?AFP
