China The PLA System reform

[Passenger]

First of all:

It must to say that analyse military system is dull and tedious. This topic is not intersted like new weapon or tech,it will not fill of photos or data sheet which can make audience directly recongnize to some sensory stimulation. But the military system is more important that weapon, because weapon is still controled by soldier.
An army in advanced system can beat the other which not, even there is gap in their weapon.
And, due to the battlefield situation in modern warfare is more complex, how to combine the different weapon/units, will be a crucial issue.

On April 19, 2024, the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) eliminated its Strategic Support Force (SSF; 战略支援部队) and created a new military force, the Information Support Force (ISF; 信息支援部队). The ISF did not replace the SSF, which had overarching responsibility for all PLA space- and information-related capabilities. The mid-April reorganization elevated the SSF’s former communications organization, the Information Communication Base (ICB), to a higher grade, making it equivalent to the other two SSF departments. The three SSF functional components, what are now called the Military Aerospace Force (ASF; 军事航天部队), the Cyberspace Force (CSF; 网络空间部队), and the Information Support Force (ISF), have been organized under the Central Military Commission (CMC). They join the Joint Logistics Support Force (JLSF; 联勤保障部队) as four “arms” (兵种) that are directly subordinate to the CMC.

China announces suspended death sentences for former defence ministers​

Two former Chinese defence ministers have been handed suspended death sentences on corruption charges, according to state media.

A military court on Thursday sentenced Wei Fenghe and Li Shangfu to death with a two-year reprieve. This means their death sentences will be commuted to life imprisonment after two years, without the possibility of sentence reduction or parole, Xinhua reports.

Both men were both found guilty of bribery, and all of their personal assets were confiscated.

The announcement follows the recent ousting of several top military figures in the country amid a sweeping anti corruption crackdown.

Wei served as defence minister from 2018 to 2023 and was replaced by Li in March 2023.

Li's tenure as defence minister was much shorter.

He was dismissed in October 2023, two months after he suddenly disappeared from public life, sparking speculation of his removal.

In February, Chinese president Xi Jinping made a rare public reference to the military crackdown that also recently saw the removal of the country's top military general Zhang Youxia.

Xi said at the time that the army had "undergone revolutionary tempering in the fight against corruption".

Since coming to power, President Xi has launched waves of anti-corruption drives, which critics say have also been used as a tool to purge political rivals.

As an involved in the China Defense industry, I'd say that "used as a tool to purge political rivals." is the opinion of someone who doesn't understand the China. The military industry of China had been fall in corruption for a long time.
When differents new weapons keep shinning in web news and TV program,at the same time the corruption is very horrible. The suspended of two defence ministers is a singal of anti corruption, to show there is nobody could be exempted from punishment after embezzling.
