President Xi Jinping is reinforcing the Chinese military's loyalty to the Communist Party and intensifying anti-corruption efforts. Speaking at the National People's Congress, Xi stressed the need for absolute loyalty and a zero-tolerance approach to corruption within the armed forces. This comes shortly after a top general was investigated for corruption. Xi highlighted the party's ongoing "political rectification" efforts since 2012, noting significant progress. These efforts have resulted in the downfall of numerous high-ranking military officials and a reduction in the number of military delegates at the NPC, from 281 in 2023 to 243 this year.
