Military moves seized cars to border areas
Print Edition
The Chinese military has relocated more vehicles in the anti-graft campaign to border areas, a sign that the crackdown is helping troops improve their fighting capability.
As of the end of last month, all vehicles found to have violated the rules had been handed to troops stationed in remote and border areas, such as Inner Mongolia, the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region and Tibet, according to a report published on Monday by 81.cn, the website of army newspaper the PLA Daily.
The report did not state how many vehicles had been moved or what sort they were. It said only that it had happened and had been ordered by a military meeting in June.
All of the vehicles have been coated with camouflage paint and will be used for military training, it said.
Chinese military regulations state that only officers above a certain rank are entitled to a car. However, rule violations 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.
