Commission issues
document aimed at enhancing PLA's combat skills
The military pledged to step up its
extensive anti-corruption drive on Thursday, shortly after China's top military
body finished a yearlong campaign against graft across the nation's military
area commands.
The Central Military Commission also
issued a document, ratified by the commission's chairman, President Xi Jinping,
about building a command loyal to the Party and good at combat, Xinhua said on
Thursday.
"In terms of the anti-corruption
campaign in the military, no matter who is concerned or how high his position
is, we will find him and conduct the proper punishment without tolerance for
any corruption," Defense Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun said.
He said at a monthly news conference
that the military will continue to deepen the campaign, which already has
brought several top-level generals under investigation for legal and
disciplinary violations.
Yang's remarks came days after the
Central Military Commission urged enhanced efforts to combat graft after the
body inspected the seven military area commands of the People's Liberation
Army.
"A slew of important problems and
clues" have been found since the inspection tour was launched in December
of last year, Xinhua reported on Monday, without elaboration.
The tour was part of the Party's
sweeping campaign to root out extravagance and corruption since Xi took office
last year. Xi has been urging the dismantling of entrenched patronage networks
within the Party, a problem that also threatened to limit the PLA's operational
capabilities.
