Recent Deviations in China’s Military Industrial Complex
The Chinese Communist Party’s military industrial system is once again experiencing abnormal occurrences. The consecutive incidents involving the heads of the Central Military Commission’s Science and Technology Commission, as well as the removal of several military academicians involved in areas such as nuclear weapons, missiles, and military aircraft, have raised concerns. Informed sources have disclosed the existence of a corrupt black chain within the military industrial research system, ranging from project approval, technical evaluation to funding acceptance. What is the root cause of these events? Let’s delve into it together.
Meanwhile, the Chinese Communist Party’s control over individuals within the system is becoming increasingly pervasive. From matters of love, marriage, divorce, making friends, traveling abroad, to even restrictions extending to years after retirement, the scope of control is expanding. On the flip side, the incident of a Hangzhou official sexually assaulting a female employee of a state-owned enterprise was attributed to “drinking culture” by the “China Women’s News,” drawing sharp criticism from netizens.
In addition, three levees in Henan collapsed successively, leading to flooding of pig farms, soaking of 40,000 kilograms of grains, water ingress into houses, and vast farmlands facing imminent harvest failure.
These series of events have raised questions and concerns not only domestically but also among international observers regarding the stability and integrity of China’s military industry and governance systems. The implications of these incidents on China’s internal and external dynamics are yet to be fully understood.
