CHINA-PLA: ANTI-CORRUPTION CAMPAIGN

 The well-informed Hongkong newspaper South China Morning Post reported that Rear Admiral Wang Yu, who from March till September 2015 was in charge of the Armour and Equipment Department of the PLAN's South China Sea Fleet, is being investigated for alleged corruption. 52-year old Rear Admiral Wang Yu, considered a rising star, had offered to resign from the National People’s Congress in September because of “severe violations of party discipline” -- euphemism for corruption or bribery -- according to a communique posed on the website of the top legislative body’s standing committee.


(Comments: A native of Hubei province, Wang joined the navy in 1987 at the age of 23. He is one of the PLAN’s highly-educated recruits and was promoted to Senior Engineer when he was only 27 and became a Rear Admiral in 2007. Wang Yu, took over as head of the equipment department in March last year, but was replaced six months later by his colleague Captain Ju Xinchun.)
