China has taken a significant step in its ongoing efforts to combat corruption within its military ranks. The Defense Ministry announced the suspension of Admiral Miao Hua, a key figure in the Central Military Commission (CMC), for alleged 'serious violation of discipline,' which is commonly understood as corruption.
Admiral Miao Hua, who heads the Political Work Department of the CMC, is known to have close ties to Chinese leader Xi Jinping, dating back to their time in Fujian province. This move follows a broader crackdown initiated by Xi to cleanse the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of corrupt elements.
