A total of 4,885 members of the People's Liberation Army were punished last year for disciplinary violations, according to PLA Daily, the military's flagship newspaper.
Disciplinary watchdogs within the PLA investigated 445 cases last year, the newspaper said, adding that the Central Military Commission's Disciplinary Inspection Committee, the PLA's top anti-corruption body, focused on examining tip-offs about high-ranking officers.
In 2016, the committee also inspected several graft-prone sectors such as infrastructure construction, equipment procurement, research fund management and recruitment. The inspection led to probes into 819 problems in grassroots units, according to the report.
