The PLA’s top anti-graft officer concluded unprecedented training for senior military officials in Beijing on Tuesday by urging continuing efforts to boost loyalty to the Communist Party and “political rectification”.
Zhang Shengmin, vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC) – China’s top military decision-making body – said the first-of-its-kind training course had sharpened participants’ ideological transformation and sense of responsibility.
“We should greet the 100th anniversary of the founding of the PLA with a renewed political outlook,” Zhang said during the closing ceremony at the National Defence University, referring to the milestone that takes place on August 1 next year.

The two-month-long course for senior officials began on April 8, and Chinese President Xi Jinping attended its opening ceremony, state broadcaster CCTV reported.
Launched amid China’s military anti-corruption campaign, the course was designed specifically for senior officers from across the country.
