That is precisely the message Xi sent to the military in a recent speech to the 16th army group, for which Xu served as political commissar in the early 1990s. After vowing to eradicate Xu’s influence, “ideologically, politically, and also in terms of organization and work style,” Xi stressed that disobedience to the Party leadership would not be tolerated.
这正是习近平在第16集团军发表的最新讲话所传递的信息。20世纪90年代初，徐才厚在该集团军担任政委。习近平要求“从思想上、政治上、组织上、作风上”彻底清除徐才厚案件的影响，强调绝不容忍违背党的领导。习近平说，军队必须“坚决听从党中央、中央军委指挥”。
