Source-derived summary

Liu Zhanqi (simplified Chinese: 刘占琪; traditional Chinese: 劉佔琪; pinyin: Lií Zhànqí; born December 1956) is a former officer of the Chinese People's Armed Police. He was investigated by the Commission for Discipline Inspection of the Central Military Commission (CMCCDI) in November 2014 and his case was handed over to military prosecutors in May 2015. Previously he served as chief of the People's Armed Police transportation command.

Liu worked for a long time on logistics and infrastructure projects for the Chinese Armed Police, and he is the first provincial-level Armed Police official to be placed under investigation. On June 17, 2015, the Central Military Commission (CMC) announced in a brief notice that Kou Tie and Liu Zhanqi were placed under investigation in November and their cases forwarded to prosecutors last month. So far, 37 PLA officials of deputy corps level and above have been put under corruption probes since CMC Chairman Xi Jinping's continues an anti-graft dragnet at all levels of government, military and ruling Chinese Communist Party.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Liu Zhanqi” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Zhanqi, Chinese and police provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 18, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q22774227. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1956, 2014, 2015 and 1973.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
