CHINA-MILITARY: ANTI-CORRUPTION DRIVE

The PLA Daily front-paged a report on February 11, 2015, announcing that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) is launching a year-long retrospective audit to review military spending over the past two years to crack down on excessive behaviour in the world's largest army. The report said the move was aimed at uncovering embezzlement, accounting fraud, stealing from private coffers and other wrongdoing so as to curb "deep-seated, unhealthy" tendencies in the military. News of the retrospective audit comes after the PLA's top decision-making body, the Central Military Commission, in November took direct control of the army's audit office. The PLA Daily also on February 11 front-paged a commentary highlighting various moves by Xi - who is also chairman of the Central Military Commission - to crack down on extravagance and embezzlement in the army.
