China’s military vows to improve scrutiny of training after fall of Zhang Youxia

China's People's Liberation Army has pledged to improve scrutiny of training and drills following the investigation into corruption among top military officials. The announcement was made in an article published on official newspaper PLA Daily, outlining anti-corruption priorities for the year. Top general Zhang Youxia, first vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission, and Liu Zhenli, chief of the CMC's Joint Staff Department, were recently placed under investigation for corruption. They were accused of causing grave damage to the PLA's combat capability, a rare accusation leveled against military top brass in previous cases. The PLA Daily article calls for stronger oversight of combat capability, particularly misconduct in training and exercises including "falsification". This move comes after Zhang Youxia was removed from his position following the investigation.
