The People’s Liberation Army Admits that Its Greatest Enemy Is Corruption

One June 12, 2012, PLA Daily published an article titled “Maintain the Purity of the Army’s Party Organizations and Cadre Teams.” On the same day, many major websites in Mainland  China reprinted the article with a different title: “The People’s Liberation Army Admits that Its Greatest Enemy Is Corruption, Seriously Affecting Combat Effectiveness.”

"The Party’s purity is in opposition to all corruption. We must resolutely punish corrupt behavior; this is the inevitable demand for maintaining the Party’s purity. Both history and reality demonstrate that corruption is the biggest corrosive toxin on the army’s pure skin; it is the biggest factor that affects the cohesion and combat effectiveness of the troops.”
