Summary

Machine summary

The CMC Commission for Discipline Inspection expelled Zhang Youxia—Politburo member and CMC Vice Chairman—and Liu Zhenli—CMC member and former Chief of the Joint Staff Department—from the Party and military on September 21, citing clique-building, promotion-selling, and corruption involving 'extraordinarily large' sums; both face criminal referral to military procuratorial organs. The simultaneous removal of the CMC's second-ranking officer and the head of its operational nerve center documents the deepest penetration of anti-corruption purges into the PLA's senior command since the Xi Jinping-era campaign began, raising the question of how far factional networks extended into joint operations planning and personnel decisions. What remains unknown is the identity and scope of the subordinate networks both men are accused of cultivating.

新华社北京9月21日电经中共中央、中央军委批准，中央军委纪委监委对中央政治局委员、中央军委副主席张又侠，中央军委委员、军委联合参谋部原参谋长刘振立2人立案审查调查。9月21日，中共中央政治局会议审议并通过中央军委《关于张又侠问题审查结果和处理意见的报告》《关于刘振立问题审查结果和处理意见的报告》。经查，张又侠、刘振立背弃初心使命、与党离心离德、丧失党性原则、逾越红线底线，严重违反政治纪律和政治规矩，搞团团伙伙，对党不忠诚不老实；严重违反组织纪律，利用职务便利为他人职务晋升等提供帮助，收受巨额钱款；严重违反廉洁纪律，违规收受礼品礼金；严重违反工作纪律，不履行全面从严治党政治责任；严重违反生活纪律，对亲属和身边工作人员失教失管。张又侠、刘振立严重违反党的纪律，涉嫌严重职务犯罪，政治问题和经济问题交织，贪腐敛财与失职渎职并存，涉案金额特别巨大，性质极其严重，影响极为恶劣。依据《中国共产党纪律处分条例》等有关规定，经中央军委常务会议研究并报中共中央政治局会议审议，决定给予张又侠、刘振立开除党籍处分，终止2人党的二十大代表资格，将涉嫌犯罪问题移送军事检察机关依法审查起诉。给予2人开除党籍的处分，待召开中央委员会全体会议时予以追认。此前，中央军委已决定给予张又侠、刘振立开除军籍处分。对张又侠、刘振立的严肃查处，充分彰显党中央、中央军委将反腐败斗争进行到底的鲜明态度，再次表明惩治腐败无禁区、全覆盖、零容忍，军中绝不能有腐败分子藏身之地的坚定立场，是党和军队反腐败斗争取得的重大成果，是党和军队有决心、有力量的重要体现，人民军队在反腐败斗争中经受革命性锻造，更加纯洁巩固、更具强大凝聚力战斗力。
