Chinese military deploys seized vehicles in border areas - The Economic Times
BEIJING: Chinese military has deployed a large number of vehicles seized in the current anti-graft campaign to frontier areas including Tibet which borders India to improve the fighting capability of the troops.
All the vehicles which were found in violation during the anti-graft campaign until September have been handed to troops stationed in remote and border areas under harsh conditions such as Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and Tibet, Chinese army newspaper the PLA Daily's website 81.cn said.
The report did not specify the number of vehicles or their models but said the transfer was ordered by a military meeting in June, state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
The campaign is helping troops improve their fighting capability, the report said.
It said the vehicles have been coated with camouflage paint and will be used for military training, war-time preparation and search and rescue purposes.
Vehicles in the military is a key area of the anti-corruption campaign. Military regulation holds that only officers above a certain ranking can have access to passenger cars.
But violations in recent years have been on the rise. Since the campaign started in late 2012, the military has said luxury cars should not have military plates and banned troops from buying foreign made vehicles.
The campaign to seize vehicles started after Chinese President Xi Jinping took over power in 2013 after which the military adopted new military vehicle plates starting from May 1 annulling those issued previously to crack down on the creation, sale and use of counterfeit military vehicle plates and root out loopholes in military vehicle management.
The new rules also barred eligibility of several types of vehicles for the new plates, including luxury cars, private vehicles, local government vehicles and vehicles for local officials who hold concurrent positions in the PLA or the armed police forces.
The new measure for the world's largest army with over 2.3 million personnel were implemented after Xi asked the military to cut down luxury banquets and observe austerity.
Xi also carried out massive anti-corruption campaign in the ruling Communist Party of China, (CPC) and the military.
While 80 top officials of the party including top senior leaders like Zhou Yangkong in the previous administration were punished besides thousands of officials.
Anti-corruption investigations have been launched against 40 top military officials including highly placed Generals.
