“China’s top military body has issued a new set of guidelines for political officers following a series of corruption cases. The regulations, released by the Central Military Commission (CMC), were designed to ‘strengthen political loyalty,’ according to the official newspaper PLA Daily. It stressed the importance of Communist Party officials embedded within the military ‘acting with fairness and integrity in personnel matters, and leading by example.’ … The guidelines come in the wake of an anti-corruption purge that has seen more than a dozen People’s Liberation Army generals and some defence industry executives being placed under investigation. President Xi Jinping has repeatedly emphasised the importance of party loyalty to strengthen ideological control and support China’s goal of becoming a military superpower.” (07/21/25)
