China plans to audit more than 4,000 military officers for the efficient use
of its military expenses in the 11th Five-Year (2006-2010) Program, a senior
military officer said.
Among the 4,000-plus military officers, more than 100 will be army commanders
or above, said Liao Xilong, member of the Central Military Commission and
director of the General Logistics Department of the People's Liberation Army.
"We will make it our priority to audit those taking charge of military
expenses, officers who people complain about, those likely to be promoted and
those planning to retire," he said.
"We will apply the audit results to the evaluation of the military officers,"
Liao added.
Meanwhile, China will strengthen its audit of projects relating to armaments
and military expenditure aiming at scientific management of the army and the
anti-corruption and party building drive, Liao stressed.
In the 10th Five-Year (2001-2005) Plan, China audited 77,000 military
institutions and projects and 7,890 military officers, reaping economic benefits
valued at 6.8 billion yuan (850 million U.S. dollars).
