中国国防部7月31日在北京人民大会堂举行庆祝中共建军99周年招待会[1]。国防部长董军在会上强调，军队要坚定听党话、跟党走，深入贯彻军委主席负责制，强化政治建军[1]。董军表示军队要紧密团结在以习近平同志为核心的党中央周围[1]。
这次表态出现在中共军队大举反腐的背景下。今年1月，中央军委副主席张又俠和中央军委委员兼联合参谋部参谋长刘振立因严重违纪违法被立案调查[1]。2025年10月，中央军委副主席何卫东被宣布开除党籍军籍[1]。
China's Defense Minister Dong Jun underscored the military's commitment to party leadership during a reception celebrating the 99th anniversary of the People's Liberation Army on July 31 in Beijing's Great Hall of the People [1]. Dong stressed the need to uphold the "system of the chairman of the Central Military Commission holding primary responsibility" and strengthen "political military building" [1]. He called for the armed forces to "closely unite around the Party Central Committee with Xi Jinping at its core" [1].
The defense minister's remarks come amid a significant anti-corruption campaign within the military hierarchy [1]. In January, Zhang Youxia, a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, and Liu Zhenli, a member of the Central Military Commission and chief of the Joint Staff Department, were placed under investigation for serious violations of discipline and law [1]. Additionally, in October 2025, He Weidong, a vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, was expelled from both the party and the military [1].
