You really have to admire Western journalism: • Corruption removed = instability • Corruption institutionalised = strength • Accountability = uncertainty • Un-auditable budgets = normal

So let me get this straight.
Reuters thinks China’s defence industry having lower revenue because the government is purging corrupt procurement officials is…
a problem? 
Meanwhile the U.S. Pentagon has failed six consecutive audits, cannot account for trillions of dollars, and funnels money into a military-industrial black hole where no one even knows what was bought, and that’s somehow considered “stability”?
You really have to admire Western journalism:
• Corruption removed = instability
• Corruption institutionalised = strength
• Accountability = uncertainty
• Un-auditable budgets = normal
The logic is stunning.
China punishes graft → “Oh no, delays! Revenues down!”
The U.S. loses track of half its defence spending → “Freedom isn’t free 
”
Also, Reuters conveniently forgets the part where China is actually deploying hypersonics, carriers, drones, rockets, and a navy larger than the next several nations combined, while America’s military shipyards can’t finish a destroyer on schedule.
But sure, tell me more about how a temporary slowdown due to anti-corruption is scarier than a system where the money disappears but the weapons don’t appear.
If accountability is “instability,” maybe the real problem is your expectation, not China’s governance.
