PLA's zero tolerance to corruption

Gu Junshan, a former deputy head of the General Logistics Department of the People's Liberation Army, has been charged with embezzlement, bribery, misuse of State funds and abuse of power by the military procuratorate, which shows the PLA's determination to eliminate graft, says an article in People's Daily. Excerpts:

This is an army that has created many miraculous marvels, but at the same time undergone much hardship and pains. The PLA soldiers experienced countless hails of bullets and underwent a baptism of blood and fire to win the country's independence and people's liberation at the cost of their lives and blood. Therefore, even though the investigation into Gu's activities may reveal more evidence of crimes, Gu neither represents the PLA nor will his misdeeds tarnish the reputations of other soldiers. The names of our soldiers appear every year on the list of winners for moral role models or on the TV program Moving China, where their touching stories not only convey the hopes of the country, but also serve as the voice of our times.
