No More Soldier-Entrepreneurs in China

This should stop military corruption in China:
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.
I was being sarcastic of course.

Maybe they're trying to weed out those who don't know how to call for air support by other means.
