The Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China conducted collective learning on Wednesday (September 27). The current State Councilor attended it in accordance with usual practice. The former Foreign Minister Qin Gang and the current Minister of Defense Li Shangfu were disappeared.Although Qin Gang was still on the title of the State Commissioner, the post of foreign ministers was exempted as early as the end of July, which is equivalent to official announcements.Li Shangfu was absent for the first time in public, which was rumored to be investigated by his corruption.
In retrospect, in March of this year, the Chinese government changed. A total of five State members were sworn in front of the National People's Congress. Only three people left in just half a year. China ’s deputy national officials at the current deputy national officials“ accident ”quickly., Shocking.
It is believed that Qin Gang is believed to be suspected of personal disciplinary violations. The Chinese army is currently in the autumn of events. The high -ranking generals who are "missing" for unknown reasons have been more than two consecutive.How this will affect the combat effectiveness of the PLA and attract attention.
Just a few days ago, the Chinese Shenzhou 12th to 15th Astronaut was awarded the award conference on Monday (September 25) in Beijing.According to CCTV news reports and pictures, the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission He Weidong awarded on behalf of the Chinese official, and the main generals of the Central Military Commission's Equipment Development Minister Xu Xueqiang and the PLA strategic support forces were lined up on the podium.Commander Ji Gan Sheng Jian.
Jian Qiansheng, 61, was implicated in many senior generals involving corruption or leaky as early as mid -July.Soon after, he was absent from the anniversary of the founding of the Army on July 31. Now he is absent from the aerospace officer and awarded the awards conference, further confirming that the career is fierce.
As for the strategic support forces in charge of Jigan Sheng, it is a new strategic army established after the Chinese military reform in 2016. It is described as "the key forces of war to win."This deputy war zone -level unit is responsible for intelligence support, technical reconnaissance, electronic confrontation, network offense and defense, and psychological warfare. The main task is to enable the PLA to achieve local advantages in aerospace, space, network and electromagnetic space battlefields.Department: Network System Department and the Aerospace System Department, the latter is responsible for leading the Aerospace Brigade.
The exposure of strategic support forces is very low. Monday's awarding conference is a rare opportunity to glimpse the high -level lineup.Judging from the number of seats displayed on the TV screen, General Li Wei, the political support force of the strategic support forces, the deputy commander Bi Yi, the deputy political commissar and the secretary of the disciplinary committee Yang Xiaoxiang, the deputy political commissar and the director of the political department Ding Xingnong, the commander of the aerospace system department Hao Weizhong, and the network system departmentCommander Chen Hui and so on.
Hao Weizhong's previous public position was the deputy commander of the Aerospace System Department. He replaced Shang Hong, then the then Commander of the Aerospace System Department, who was disqualified from the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China last year.The reasons for Shang Hong's disqualification and whereabouts are still fascinated, and I believe it is also under investigation.The resume shows that Shang Hong has served in the equipment and aerospace department, and has served as the former chief of staff of the headquarters of the former General Equipment Department and the director of Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center.
Since the middle of this year, the Chinese senior officials' investigation of the army has continued to deepen. Before Li Shangfu's accident, the leadership of the Rocket Army was "one pot" during July -the former commander and the political commissar were replaced.Two of the deputy commander and a current deputy commander were rumored to be investigated, and one died for three weeks before he lost his death.The survey of the senior management of the strategic support forces is also underway.
As a department in charge of the cutting -edge military technology such as military reserve and aerospace, the equipment development department, the strategic support forces and the Rocket Army are the "heavy weapons" of the defender of the country.EssenceThe business of the above three cutting -edge departments has a cross again.For example, Li Shangfu has been working in the equipment department of the PLA for a long time. He has served as commander of the Xichang Satellite Launch Center. He has also served as deputy commander and chief of staff of the Strategic Support Force for a short time.As a result, a senior general provided others when he was investigated, pulled out the radish with mud, and more and more people involved in cross -border, leaving the water surface.
This "Qing army" operation is deeply penetrating into the military industry.According to the Hong Kong Ming Pao, the four major military industry enterprises of AVIC, AVIC, China Military Workers, and Southern Industry have also been taken away to assist in the investigation.Whether it will eventually involve Wei Fenghe, commander of the first Rocket Army and the Minister of Defense, is currently a major suspense.In the news of the China National Day reception, which was broadcast on CCTV on Thursday (28th), it was reported that the former Central Military Commission members of Beijing also attended the enrollment, but Wei Fenghe's figure was not seen in the picture.
Chinese army corruption is not a new phenomenon.Guo Boxiong and Xu Caihou, the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission of the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, were severely involved in corruption after leaving.The attitude of leaders is directly related to China's current military needs.
To win modern campaigns, the loyalty of the senior generals is very important, and there must be no risk of leakage.In response to the situation of the Taiwan Strait that has attracted much attention, although the PLA's "island" and the machine ships have been normalized, the pictures of various drills seem to be prestigious, but to win the island in the short time in modern information warfare and use collaborative operations to combat combatTips, the PLA has no practical experience.In this case, the "tumor" of corruption has to be eliminated to ensure the reliability of the army.From another perspective, the shocking high -level corruption also shows that Beijing will continue to use a variety of means to deter Taiwan, but if it is said that Wu Tong and the short period should still not want to fight, not to fight.
After Li Shangfu's "accident", the most likely candidate to replace the position of the defense chief is Liu Zhenli, a 59 -year -old member of the Central Military Commission and chief of staff chief of staff of the Ministry of Military Commission.Liu Zhenli participated in the Sino -Vietnamese border battles in 1986 and established first -class war. He is one of the few generals with practical experience.He is also the youngest member of the current Central Military Commission, ranking second only to Li Shangfu among the Military Commission, and is likely to be promoted.
