A senior Chinese military leader has urged efforts to "clear away unfavorable influence" of late disgraced general Xu Caihou and "rectify incorrect thinking" in the army.

Xu Qiliang, vice chairman of China's Central Military Commission (CMC), made the remarks at a symposium held by the People's Liberation Army General Political Department.

After a corruption probe, former CMC vice chairman Xu Caihou was found to have taken advantage of his position to help people win promotions and to have accepted large bribes personally and through his family. He died of bladder cancer in March.

At the symposium, Xu Qiliang urged troops to study President Xi Jinping's remarks late last year at a military conference held in a former revolutionary base in the township of Gutian in southeast China's Fujian Province.

At the site where the landmark Gutian Meeting was held around 85 years ago, Xi stressed that the military should carry forward revolutionary traditions.

The Gutian Meeting set the tone for the army's political work during the revolutionary era.
