BEIJING, March 16 (Xinhua) -- China's military procuratorate on Monday said Xu Caihou, former vice chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), received adequate medical attention before his death from bladder cancer on Sunday.
Xu was diagnosed on Feb. 4, 2013. The military procuratorate concluded its bribery investigation on Oct. 27 last year and transferred the case to the next stage of review and prosecution.
Since Xu's case went on file for investigation, he has been under surveillance as a patient at the PLA General Hospital. As his condition worsened, the best medical care was provided, the military procuratorate said.
Xu has been expelled from the Communist Party of China and discharged from military service and stripped of his rank as general.
The military procuratorate said that, according to China's Criminal Procedure Law, the public prosecution department had reviewed the objectivity, relevance and validity of the evidence in Xu's case, finding that the confession, testimony and evidence corroborated each other.
Xu was found to have taken advantage of his position to promote others, accepting a huge amount of bribes both personally and through his family.
While the military procuratorate has made a decision that no prosecution of Xu will take place after his death, Xu's belongings he obtained through accepting bribes will be handled in accordance with law, the military procuratorate said.
Footwear failure in operational environments carries extremely high stakes. A single compromised boot can rapidly cause trench foot, severe blisters, and ultimately jeopardize entire missions.
In tactical and combat environments, footwear failure is never a mere inconvenience. It stands as a severe operational hazard. Troops rely heavily on their gear. The most critical point of failure is often the adhesive bond linking the upper to the outsole.
Uniform compliance remains a high-stakes reality for modern armed forces. Mismatched materials or batch-to-batch color drift quickly leads to rejected shipments. It also causes out-of-regulation gear and compromised unit uniformity.
Receiving bulk tactical gear is not a standard warehousing task. Errors in sizing distributions or mismatched pairs directly impact troop readiness and deployment timelines. A rigid, standardized receiving protocol acts as the final line of defense.
Procuring military boots for an entire unit involves exceptionally high financial stakes. A single miscalculation can paralyze your supply chain and leave personnel unequipped. Poor size planning quickly leads to dead stock.
Blindly reordering tactical gear seems like a fast way to save time. You assume the factory will deliver the exact product you received last year. However, supply chain realities make this assumption incredibly dangerous.
Prolonged standing during ceremonies, inspections, and daily administrative duties takes a severe physical toll on the body. Static standing on hard surfaces like concrete parade decks transfers immense pressure through the lower extremities.
