Beijing [China], September 1 (ANI): China has been adept at hiding military mishaps, involving fighter jet crashes and submarines as the regime not disposed to transparency attempts to hide its incapability in the naval domain.
The communist regime has rarely been transparent especially in disclosing military accidents with Beijing rarely acknowledging submarine accidents publicly and almost never releasing results of its investigations into jet crashes, American magazine The National Interest reported on Tuesday.
In April 2003, a Chinese fishing boat's crew found an unusual sight, a periscope drifting listlessly above the surface of the water. They immediately informed China's People's Liberation Army Navy (PLAN), which sent two vessels to investigate.
Initially, the Chinese navy thought that it was an intruding submarine either from South Korea or from Japan. But as they found an apparent derelict, the Chinese navy understood it was one of their submarines, the Ming-class 361.
Nearly 70 Chinese personnel were found dead inside the submarine on April 26.
Later in May, former president and military commissioner Jiang Zemin acknowledged the tragic incident. He clarified that the incident was a result of a mechanical failure.
After a month, a commission led by the then-president Jiang Zemin dismissed the commissar of the North Sea Fleet. The commission also demoted or dismissed six or eight more officers for improper command and control.
It has been known worldwide that China always hides its military accidents. So experts speculated that Beijing's acknowledgment of the 2003 submarine incident was an attempt to downplay the SARS epidemic.
Poor standard of maintenance, cheap manufacturing and poor crew training result in such leather accidents as happened in China in 2003. (ANI)
