To increase discipline and fight corruption in troops, the
Central Military Commission recently set out new disciplinary
regulations for the armed forces, the PLA Daily reported
yesterday.
Severe penalties will also be levied against those who set up
parties or organizations that are prohibited by military
regulations.
The provisions toughen punishment for repeat offending. Clear
penalties are set out for offenders involved in corruption relating
to military project construction, the purchase of materials,
treatment of out-of-service equipment, sales and rent of military
real estate, or the lending of military vehicles and plates.
The regulations clarify punishment for embezzling public funds
and setting up illegal accounts.
Punishment will be given to those in authority who incite people
in their charge to violate their duties.
