China’s military has for the first time installed anti-corruption inspection units in its newly restructured departments and theatre commands.

The system is modelled on the one established to stamp out graft in civilian government departments and Communist Party organs.

The PLA Daily reported on Thursday that the graft inspectors completed two days of training in Beijing on Wednesday. The inspectors will be divided into 10 groups that will fan out to the theatre commands and other departments under the Central Military Commission.

The report did not specify how the 10 teams would be divided among the departments and commands, saying only that some of them would oversee several units.
