解放军窝案 Impact of China’s purges on its military strength

东谈西论

2023年的最后一个星期，中国一口气查处了11名军方高级将领，包括中国火箭军的两名前司令员、两名前副司令员、中国空军的原司令员等多名高层。这是继十月国防部长李尚福被免职后，中国再次展示出强烈的整军动作。

几乎同一时间，中国三大特大军事工业国有企业，中国航天科技集团、中国兵器工业集团及中国航天科工集团的高层也纷纷出事。

中国火箭军以及军工企业高层人员密集出事意味着什么？这对中国解放军的战斗力会造成什么冲击？原海军司令董军在十二月底接任国防部长又对外传达了什么信息？

这期的早报播客《东谈西论》，听主持人韩咏红和《联合早报》中国新闻资深高级记者于泽远解析强烈反腐对中国战力的影响力。

China concluded 2023 with a sweeping military purge, investigating 11 senior military officials, including former commanders and vice-commanders of the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) Rocket Force as well as the former Air Force chief. The latest purge followed the dismissal of Defence Minister Li Shangfu in October, indicating a strong commitment to military reforms.

Simultaneously, top executives of China's three major state-owned military-industrial enterprises—China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation, China Ordnance Industries Group Corporation Limited (or Norinco Group), and China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation—are also under investigation.

In this episode of Global Heartbeat podcast, host Han Yong Hong and Lianhe Zaobao’s China News Copy Editor Yu Zeyuan discuss the impact of China’s anti-corruption efforts on its military strength.
