Business Insider/Reuters: Corruption in China's military is so bad that it might undermine their ability to wage war
BEIJING (Reuters) - China's military can only achieve its modernization goals if it respects the law, the Central Military Commission said on Thursday, offering a warning to the armed forces which have reeled from a series of graft scandals.
The government has announced investigations into more than a dozen senior military officials on serious corruption charges.
Many of those implicated have ties to a scandal involving former top military officer Xu Caihou, who retired as vice chairman of the powerful Central Military Commission in 2013.
