Military anti-graft inspectors fanning out
Print Edition
CHINA’S military has for the first time sent dedicated teams of corruption inspectors into its units, following a practice already established for civilian departments as part of the spreading crackdown on graft.
Previously, corruption investigations in the People’s Liberation Army, were handled in a more ad hoc fashion. But under reforms started last year the military now has a dedicated graft-fighting division.
The sweeping anti-corruption campaign targets both high-ranking and low-level officials in state-owned industry, government, and the military.
The military is reeling from the crackdown and has seen dozens of officers investigated, including two former vice chairmen of the powerful Central Military Commission, Guo Boxiong and Xu Caihou.
Xu died of cancer last year before he could be brought to trial while Guo was accused of accepting bribes last month.
The new graft inspectors completed two days of training on Wednesday and had been organized into 10 teams who would go to various units around the country. It did not say which units would get inspectors.
Xu Qiliang, a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, told the inspectors they were fulfilling an important role in cleaning up and strengthening the armed forces, Xinhua news agency said.
“Keep firmly in mind the expectations and great trust of Chairman Xi,” Xinhua paraphrased Xu as saying. President Xi Jinping is also the head of the Central Military Commission.
