China seeks public tips on procurement violations as PLA Rocket Force probe continues

China has launched a public appeal for information on suspected procurement corruption within the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force (PLARF) as part of an ongoing anti-corruption campaign. The PLA's official procurement website has invited suppliers, bidding agencies, evaluation experts, and military personnel to provide information on alleged violations related to the Rocket Force's procurement of goods, services, construction projects, food, and medical supplies.

The appeal, which does not specify a time frame for when the alleged violations occurred, will accept reports until November 30, 2026, through a special telephone line and by mail. This is not the first time the PLA has made such an appeal; similar requests were made in December 2025 regarding the Air Force and in August 2024 for the PLA Cyberspace Force.

The campaign follows a series of purges within the PLA's senior ranks, including corruption investigations and disciplinary probes targeting multiple commanders of the Rocket Force, highlighting the severity of the issue within the military branch.
