Xinhua, Beijing, September 21 — With the approval of the CPC Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, the CMC Discipline Inspection Commission and Supervision Commission opened a case for review and investigation of two individuals: Zhang Youxia, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, and Liu Zhenli, member of the Central Military Commission and former chief of staff of the CMC Joint Staff Department. On September 21, a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee deliberated on and adopted the Central Military Commission's "Report on the Results of the Review of Zhang Youxia's Problems and Recommendations for Handling" and "Report on the Results of the Review of Liu Zhenli's Problems and Recommendations for Handling."

新华社北京9月21日电　经中共中央、中央军委批准，中央军委纪委监委对中央政治局委员、中央军委副主席张又侠，中央军委委员、军委联合参谋部原参谋长刘振立2人立案审查调查。9月21日，中共中央政治局会议审议并通过中央军委《关于张又侠问题审查结果和处理意见的报告》《关于刘振立问题审查结果和处理意见的报告》。

The investigation found that Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli betrayed their original aspiration and mission, became estranged from the Party in heart and in deed (离心离德, an idiom from the "Great Declaration" 泰誓 chapter of the Book of Documents 尚书), lost their Party spirit and principles, and crossed red lines and bottom lines. They seriously violated political discipline and political rules, formed cliques and factions, and were disloyal and dishonest to the Party; seriously violated organizational discipline, using the convenience of their positions to help others with promotions and other matters and accepting huge sums of money; seriously violated integrity discipline, accepting gifts and cash gifts in violation of regulations; seriously violated work discipline, failing to fulfill their political responsibility for full and rigorous Party self-governance; and seriously violated life discipline, failing to educate and manage their relatives and the staff around them.

经查，张又侠、刘振立背弃初心使命、与党离心离德、丧失党性原则、逾越红线底线，严重违反政治纪律和政治规矩，搞团团伙伙，对党不忠诚不老实；严重违反组织纪律，利用职务便利为他人职务晋升等提供帮助，收受巨额钱款；严重违反廉洁纪律，违规收受礼品礼金；严重违反工作纪律，不履行全面从严治党政治责任；严重违反生活纪律，对亲属和身边工作人员失教失管。

Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli seriously violated Party discipline and are suspected of serious duty-related crimes. Their political problems and economic problems were intertwined, graft and money-grabbing coexisted with dereliction of duty and malfeasance, the sums involved were especially huge, the nature of the case extremely serious, and the impact extremely vile. In accordance with the Regulations of the Communist Party of China on Disciplinary Action and other relevant provisions, after study by an executive meeting of the Central Military Commission and submission to a meeting of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee for deliberation, it was decided to expel Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli from the Party, terminate the two men's credentials as delegates to the 20th Party Congress, and transfer their suspected criminal problems to the military procuratorial organs for review and prosecution in accordance with the law. The expulsion of the two from the Party is to be ratified when a plenary session of the Central Committee is convened. Previously, the Central Military Commission had already decided to expel Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli from the military.

张又侠、刘振立严重违反党的纪律，涉嫌严重职务犯罪，政治问题和经济问题交织，贪腐敛财与失职渎职并存，涉案金额特别巨大，性质极其严重，影响极为恶劣。依据《中国共产党纪律处分条例》等有关规定，经中央军委常务会议研究并报中共中央政治局会议审议，决定给予张又侠、刘振立开除党籍处分，终止2人党的二十大代表资格，将涉嫌犯罪问题移送军事检察机关依法审查起诉。给予2人开除党籍的处分，待召开中央委员会全体会议时予以追认。此前，中央军委已决定给予张又侠、刘振立开除军籍处分。

The serious investigation and punishment of Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli fully demonstrates the clear-cut attitude of the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission toward carrying the anti-corruption struggle through to the end, and once again shows the firm position that in punishing corruption there are no forbidden zones, coverage is complete and tolerance is zero, and that there must absolutely be no place in the military for corrupt elements to hide. It is a major achievement of the anti-corruption struggle of the Party and the military, and an important manifestation of the resolve and strength of the Party and the military. The people's military is undergoing revolutionary tempering in the anti-corruption struggle, becoming purer and more consolidated, with stronger cohesion and combat effectiveness.

对张又侠、刘振立的严肃查处，充分彰显党中央、中央军委将反腐败斗争进行到底的鲜明态度，再次表明惩治腐败无禁区、全覆盖、零容忍，军中绝不能有腐败分子藏身之地的坚定立场，是党和军队反腐败斗争取得的重大成果，是党和军队有决心、有力量的重要体现，人民军队在反腐败斗争中经受革命性锻造，更加纯洁巩固、更具强大凝聚力战斗力。
