From July 11 to July 20, the PLA Daily has not published the phrase 'Chairman Responsibility System of the Central Military Commission' for ten consecutive days.
Reportedly since July 11, the PLA Daily has stopped using the seven characters 'Chairman Responsibility System' and has begun publishing articles criticizing military training and formalism.
On January 25, 2026, the front page of the PLA Daily convicted Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli over the filing of their case, with the charge being a serious violation of the system of the Chairman of the Military Commission assuming sole responsibility; overseas disclosures claim that the Ministry of National Defense belongs to the civilian system, and that it is the perpetrator convicting the victim.
Zhang Youxia, Vice Chairman of the CCP Central Military Commission, and Liu Zhenli, member of the Central Military Commission, were involved in an incident at the Central Party School. Subsequently, the Ministry of National Defense officially announced their investigation on January 24, and on January 25, the front page of the PLA Daily convicted them of "severely trampling on the Chairman of the Central Military Commission responsibility system."
