China has introduced a new code of conduct for military auditors.

This comes after many high-ranking officers were removed from their positions due to corruption.

The code aims to ensure that auditors are loyal, capable, and disciplined.

It also includes rules about what they cannot do.

The purges have affected many officers, including those in charge of important military units and defense companies.

While the purges continue, the military is still functioning and carrying out its duties.

However, there are concerns about how these changes affect the morale and readiness of the troops.
