Based on official data, 39 generals (including Guo’s son, a major general) have already been arrested. And if there is merit to the allegations that a large number of generals bribed Guo and Xu for their promotions, it is reasonable to assume that the most wide-ranging purge of senior PLA officers since the Cultural Revolution will continue.
自2012年底军委主席习近平发起反腐运动以来，郭伯雄和徐才厚并非仅有的落马高级军官。从官方数据看，已有39位将军（包括少将军衔的郭伯雄之子）被逮捕。如果能证明大量将官依靠行贿郭伯雄和徐才厚获得升迁，那么可以推断这场子文化大革命以来范围最广的解放军高级军官清洗还将继续。
