BEIJING, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Two top Chinese military leaders have been expelled from the ruling Communist Party and the military on corruption charges, the country's defence ministry said on Friday, the most senior officers to be purged in an anti-graft drive that began in 2023.
He Weidong, China's number two general, and navy admiral Miao Hua, the Chinese military's former top political officer, are the latest senior military officials to be targeted in a campaign against corruption in the People's Liberation Army.
In some ideal world, graft would not impair military readiness. But it never seems to work that way. I suspect that the much vaunted Chinese tiger will turn out in combat to be the Chinese giant panda.
