(Comprehensive news from Hong Kong) Cai Yingting, the former deputy chief of staff of the Chinese People's Liberation Army and president of the Academy of Military Sciences, was reportedly downgraded eight ranks in a row, and his official rank was downgraded from the second rank to the tenth rank.However, some critics believe that the main reason for Cai Yingting's relegation is that he has too close relationship with Xu Caihou, Guo Boxiong, Zhang Wannian and others who have already fallen.

It was revealed that her daughter was not notified of her husband's naturalization in France

Hong Kong's South China Morning Post quoted an internal source of the People's Liberation Army as saying that Cai Yingting's relegation has not been publicly announced, but it has been circulated in Chinese military circles since the 15th.

The report quoted sources as saying that one of Tsai's mistakes was that his daughter married a French citizen and had obtained French citizenship, but he did not report it to the Central Military Commission in time, and the Central Military Commission only learned about it after someone made a small report.

It is also reported that although Cai Yingting closely followed the steps of the authorities and criticized Xu Caihou, Guo Boxiong and other former leaders of the Central Military Commission, his loyalty failed to win the full trust of the general secretary of the Communist Party of China and the current chairman of the Central Military Commission.He also said that although he was downgraded, he landed safely, which is much better than spending the rest of his life in Qincheng Prison.

Once the youngest general of the PLA is expected to be promoted to vice chairman of the Military Commission

Cai Yingting served in the former Nanjing Military Region for a long time. He served as the secretary of Zhang Wannian, the former vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, the deputy director of the General Office of the Military Commission, and the deputy chief of staff of the PLA. He was promoted to the rank of general in 2013 and was the youngest general of the PLA at that time., who was once considered a strong contender for vice chairman of the Central Military Commission.

During the military reform in 2016, Cai Yingting was transferred from the post of commander of the Nanjing Military Region to the dean of the Academy of Military Sciences of the PLA. His official career was obviously frustrated. Last year, he retired at the age of 63, two years earlier than the original retirement age. There were rumors at the timeIt is pointed out that Cai Yingting was reported by real name and investigated by the government.

If the news that Cai Yingting has been demoted eight grades in a row is true, it means that he will be demoted from the general to the rank of battalion commander, and his current retirement benefits will be greatly reduced. But at the same time, it is believed that this also means that the official investigation on him has ended.

Cai Yingting’s last public appearance was at the farewell ceremony for Shen Daren’s body in August last year. According to the Yangzi Evening News and other official media reports, Cai Yingting appeared on the condolence list as an old comrade.

It was reported earlier that he had fallen from the horse

Sing Tao Daily reported earlier that Zhu Fuxi had been detained by the Disciplinary Committee of the Central Military Commission for investigation.Zhu Fuxi worked for a long time in the former General Political Department of the People's Liberation Army and served as the Secretary-General of the General Political Department. The General Political Department was led by Xu Caihou, the former vice chairman of the Central Military Commission for a long time.Xu Caihou and Guo Boxiong, another former vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission, fell after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.The People's Liberation Army still regards the comprehensive eradication of Guo Xu's legacy as an important task.

The official media Liberation Army Daily reported today that all the troops combined the ongoing efforts to comprehensively eliminate the influence of Guo Boxiong and Xu Caihou’s persecution, do a solid job in ideological and organizational clean-up, and earnestly study the spirit of the important speeches made by the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and the Chairman of the Central Military Commission.This shows that the military's cleanup of Guo Xuyu's party organization is still in progress.
