Corruption may slow China’s ability to one day invade Taiwan, DOD says
By Noah Robertson

Rampant corruption in the Chinese military may be slowing its ability to one day launch an invasion of Taiwan, according to the Pentagon’s annual report on China’s armed forces released Wednesday.

While the People’s Liberation Army is still progressing overall — deploying ships farther from its shores and displaying longer-range missiles — a yearslong anti-corruption probe may delay some of its goals related to 2027, an important mile marker for the PLA.


Between July and December of 2023, at least 15 senior members of China’s military and defense industry were sacked over suspicions of graft, the report found. And the subjects extend to the very top.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
