Yeah, I read this when it came out. I have a theory. CCP probably launched an investigation into corruption as part of pre-war preparations that the Russians failed to do before the Ukraine invasion. So this revelation must be a byproduct of the investigation.
It's unfortunate that the Ukraine war has led authoritarian regimes to clamp down on corruption before wars, instead of the West leveraging this advantage during a hot war.
@LX1111
Do you understand now the risk of PLA generals surrendering without a fight in a major war? If corruption is widespread enough that many weapons have been rendered useless, then giving up becomes an option.

This is the one of the objectives of PAK DP. It's being designed to intercept hypersonic CMs, BMs and even satellites.
To be honest, I find it difficult to understand what adding water instead of fuel means in Chinese ballistic missile forces. Only the soon to be retired DF-5B is still using liquid fuel. And it uses highly toxic and corrosive UDMH ,it is only injected into the missile 20 minutes before launch. Moreover, the author of this article clearly lacks a certain understanding of corruption. In an industrial country like China. The most common way of corruption is to spend 100000 to buy a ton of fuel. Then write 1 million on the invoice. This way you can get 900000. Instead of spending 100000 to buy water. Because of this, you can only get 100000.

I suspect that the original text seen by Bloomberg is.在导弹相关的东西注水。并试图掩盖。Then these people who are completely ignorant of Chinese understand it as adding water to a missile instead of fuel. Then the cover of the missile launch well cannot be opened. His original intention should be. Fraudulent pricing of missile related projects. And being dishonest in the face of investigations . It is a common saying in Chinese, and journalists who have a limited understanding of Chinese do not understand its meaning at all.
