Military authorities finish inspection

The Central Military Commission said it has completed an eight-month inspection aimed at military reform. The commission issued a notice that the entire military should learn lessons from the 65 typical cases of discipline violations and corruption discovered during the inspection. Inspectors visited almost 1,000 military entities above regimental level, including theater commands, branches of military services and military educational institutions. Inspectors surveyed more than 50,000 officers and soldiers and handled more than 1,400 petitions and tips, according to the commission.
