"Pour water into rockets rather than fuel": the media found out how corruption destroys China's army

According to journalists, bribery in the largest army in the world undermined the process of its modernization and combat capability. If Si Jinping does not correct the situation, Taiwan invasion plans can break. The huge level of corruption in the People's Liberation Army of China (NVAK) undermined the process of its modernization and raised doubts about the ability to wage war. About it writes Bloomberg with reference to its own sources.

China's leader Xi Jinping was forced to carry out large -scale cleaning in the Armed Forces, but the problem was solved only partially. "SI is less likely to consider the possibility of major hostilities in the coming years," the interlocutors say. American scouts have given several facts of corruption in the NVAK. The Chinese military was filling rockets with water, not with special fuel, and large rocket mines in the west of China are simply unable to launch rockets through malfunctions.

The head of the PRC has invested billions of dollars to modernize the army by 2027. The central place in this was the creation of rocket forces, which will play a key role in a possible invasion of Taiwan, the agency indicates. Over the past six months, more than 12 military officials have been investigated in China.

It is known that on December 29, China's higher legislative body dismissed nine representatives of the defense department, including five missile forces, and at least two of the Department of Equipment for NVAC equipment. A few days earlier, China's main political advisory body has publicly removed from the post of three state -owned missiles. This wave of purges occurred after the former Defense Minister of China, Lee Shanfe, was displaced in October, who was only seven months old.

"These are only official Beijing resignations. Unlike other branches of government in China, the military does not announce the investigation of corruption. One major-general of missile troops seamlessly removed from work in the municipal legislative body of Beijing in November," the sources say. The signs of Si Jinping's desire to eradicate bribery in the army for the first time in July. Then China's supreme military body announced a new mechanism for detecting and preventing corruption risks.

The Equipment Development Department began an investigation into bribery, which coincided with the stay of Shanfe Lee. The Department named eight questions, including data leakage and the help of certain companies in providing tender applications. After that, reports of inspections and removal from the duties of three high -ranking missile leaders. Recall that at the end of last year during the exercises for the first time showed the work of advanced systems of Type 625.
