After disappearing for nearly two months, Li Shangfu, the former Chinese Defense Minister, was announced by the official.
At the meeting of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of the National People's Congress on Tuesday (October 24), Li Shangfu's post of State Councilor, Minister of Defense, and members of the National Central Military Commission were all exempted.EssenceAs for the former foreign minister Qin Gang, who was entangled with the scandal, he no longer served as a foreign minister as early as the end of July, and now he has lost his status as a member of the State Council.
They have become the defense and foreign ministers who have been extremely short -term since the founding of the Communist Party of China, and their duties have just been seven months.The number of Chinese State members who to the "deputy state level" also reduced three people from five people at once.In other words, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress of the National People's Congress on Tuesday remained at one breath.
For the reasons and problems of the dismissal of Qin and Li, the official is still taboo so far.However, Li Shangfu has not appeared in public for eight weeks. The rumors of corruption have long been upset, and the horse is also expected by all parties.What really surprised was that the National People's Congress did not simultaneously announced the new candidates for Li Shangfu to replace Li Shangfu.It was previously rumored that Liu Zhenli, Chief of Staff of the Co -Chief of Staff of the Central Military Commission, who had a settlement advantage, age advantage, and actual military experience. Liu Zhenli did not stand out and obtained promotion. China ’s defense chief has temporarily suspended.
I am afraid that this shortage will last for a month or two, or even next year.This is because according to the Chinese constitutional regulations, the National People's Congress exercises the right to election or decision to appoint the leaders of national organs. During the period of the National People's Congress, the Standing Committee of the People's Congress decided to decide the Minister of the State Council's minister of the State Council according to the nomination of the State Council.The Standing Committee of the National People's Congress generally holds a meeting in about two months. For the current 14th National People's Congress Standing Committee, its second to sixth conference this year is in early March, late April, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 6It was held in the late month, late July, early September, and late this month. The next meeting may not be held in December. Only then will it be announced that the new defense chief will be announced. Will it be Liu Zhenli, who is currently favored, is another suspense.
Liu Zhenli, 59, is currently the youngest Central Military Commission member and the youngest general in active duty. The sorting in the Military Commission is second only to Li Shangfu, reflecting his ability and potential.Liu Zhenli, like Zhang Youxia, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, is one of the few high -level high -level experience in the Central Military Commission. The two participated in the Vietnam War in the same period and went to the front line in the battle between the two mountains and Vietnam in the 1980s.
The reason for the "difficulty" of the current Chinese defense ministers may be that after the dismissal of Li Shangfu and the leaders of the Rocket Army, Chinese senior officials believe that when arranging important positions, strict review procedures must be performed to the parties and all relevant personnel.The situation must be cleared more clearly, otherwise it will not be rushed to make up.In the end, the "difficulty" of the defense also reflected that the trusted object is not easy to choose.
Speaking of which, Li Shangfu is believed to be during the time when he served as the Minister of Equipment Development of the Central Military Commission. Due to the problem of military procurement, the Li Shangfu case will involve how much it will be involved.Implications are attracting attention.
Since the middle of this year, such as the Rocket Army Commander and the Political Commissar have been "one pot". The commander of the Ministry of Strategic Development Da Qiansheng has not seen in two important public activities, and then highlights the profound and extensive rectification of the Chinese army.Some investigated personnel have provided more others in order to protect themselves. The legend has more than 1,000 objects of the investigation, including the four major military industry enterprises, including the four major military industry enterprises.With the strength of the army's rectification in these months, this number is not unexpected.
As far as Li Shangfu's influence on the army is concerned, because the main function of the defense ministers is military diplomacy, the role of etiquette rather than is responsible for combat, the so -called "high power is not heavy".It is estimated that it will not have much effect.
But the high -level personnel of the key areas are dense and fast, which can not help but worry about the stability of the Chinese leadership team.On the one hand, the senior management shows a serious position on the issue of corruption. It has resolutely set the equipment development department that has the most opportunities for interest in the army and is described as "fat".According to Caixin.com summary, as of September this year, 36 cadres investigated and punished have surpassed the total number of last year.This shows that after the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, there are still corrupt officials who "do not stop" and can not be cured, but frequent personnel changes can also cause people's minds. At the current at the present, which must be struggling to revitalize the economy, it is not conducive to forming a national governance atmosphere that officials dare to do things, or evenPromoting the atmosphere of negative officials.
Why can't the corruption problem always be cured?High -pressure anti -corruption has lasted for 10 years in China, but corruption in the system is still common.There are many analysis of the causes, including a system that points to the high degree of concentration of power to China, and the bottom -up folk and media supervision is weak, and the information is opaque.
In order to cope with the risk of corruption and avoid being blinded by corrupt elements, the CCP conducts a lot of ideological education on officials, and adopts the inspection system."Motor -style" inspection and so on.However, the essence of the inspection is still sports anti -corruption. It can receive a momentary effect, but the negative effect will emerge for a longer period of time, and even produce anti -effects. For example, some people form the law of luck and evasion.Essence
It is necessary to prevent corruption at lower costs and long -term effects, and information transparent and private supervision are essential.Otherwise, the effectiveness and recognition of anti -corruption will be reduced year by year, and many officials have recently explained that this phenomenon has emerged.
