Chinese President Xi Jinping urges senior leaders to deepen anti-corruption efforts within the military and to advance military modernization, according to reporting that cites Xinhua. The accounts say Xi calls for a stronger crackdown on graft tied to the armed forces, framing it as part of broader efforts to maintain integrity and discipline. Alongside anti-corruption, Xi also presses for improvements to the military’s capabilities and structure.
In addition to modernization goals, Xinhua reports that Xi calls for building a more advanced, “intelligent” military system. The reporting highlights increased use of unmanned technologies and the further development of systems that integrate cyber and information functions. The two sources describe Xi’s message to Communist Party leadership, presenting it as guidance for how China’s military should evolve in areas that involve both internal governance and technological modernization.
Both outlets attribute the statements to Xinhua reporting and present the same core themes: anti-graft efforts in the military, modernization priorities, and greater emphasis on unmanned and information-related capabilities.
