Corruption and Anti-corruption in the Chinese People’s Liberation Army
A spate of high-profile graft cases this past year involving senior Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) officers has raised questions about the effectiveness of earlier efforts to temper flagrant corruption in the country’s military establishment. A study of the confirmed list of affected PLA personnel from 2014 to 2024 points to distinct characteristics in the tenor of the anti-corruption campaign across each of Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s three terms in the period hitherto, while revealing unresolved issues in the exercise of oversight. Despite how new measures targeting the PLA procurement and acquisitions system have since been promulgated, the continued lack of fully developed checks and balances means that periodic clean-ups and cashiering will likely remain the norm.
