WASHINGTON, D.C. — Corruption in China's armed forces may have disrupted progress toward the country's 2027 army modernization goals, the Pentagon said in its annual report on Beijing's military that was released on Wednesday.Since last year, China's military has undergone a sweeping anti-corruption purge, and the defense ministry said last month a top-ranking military official had been suspended and was under investigation for 'serious violations of discipline.
'Once they uncover corruption in one place or involving one senior official, there's sort of a bit of a spiraling effect, inevitably seems to draw in additional officials,' said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.The report pointed to several removals from China's military rocket force, known as the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force , an elite arm of the PLA that oversees its most advanced conventional and nuclear missiles.
