中國領導人習近平持續政治清洗。根據中共中央紀委國家監委網站10日公布的消息，上海市政府黨組成員、副市長陳宇劍涉嫌嚴重違紀違法，目前正接受中央紀委國家監委紀律審查和監察調查。
中國媒體《財新網》報導，陳宇劍5月27日至28日還曾率隊考察安徽賽富樂斯半導體科技公司和安徽曼盛包裝公司、上海市第一人民醫院六安腫瘤醫院、金寨縣革命博物館、金寨縣油坊店鄉面沖村鄉村振興示範點等。這是他落馬前最後一次出席公開活動並見報。
陳宇劍成為中共二十大以來，上海繼董雲虎、朱芝松之後落馬的「第3虎」。
據上海市政府官網的訊息，陳宇劍在上海8名副市長中排名第7，負責農業農村、衛生健康、醫療保障、合作交流及橫沙新洲現代農業產業園建設等工作。
陳宇劍為1970年以後出生，1989年考入上海財經大學財師班，擁有經濟學學士，公共管理碩士，是一名高級經濟師。《財新網》指出，陳宇劍突然落馬，引發外界廣泛關注，可能與涉案百億元人民幣的「聯璧金融」爆雷有關。
「聯璧金融」非法集資案共造成110萬餘名被害人、損失逾125億元人民幣（下同，新台幣584億元）。陳宇劍遭舉報在擔任上海市松江區打擊非法金融活動小組組長時，未查處「聯璧金融」超越其經營範圍的不當作為，甚至充當其保護傘，他昔日同僚被認定受賄近3000萬元（新台幣1.4億元）。
《華爾街日報》報導，儘管習近平大權在握，上任10幾年來持續進行政治清洗，最近一例是前國家副主席王岐山的親信，凸顯習近平即便握有大權，仍有強烈的不安全感。
