What’s a bigger threat to smooth and timely procurement, a system where corruption leads to arrests and prosecution even at the highest levels; or a system that legalises corruption on the grandest scale?

A system where (known cases) 1/3 of the CMC was corrupt?
Tbh I consider this more of a historical issue. I fully expect that >50% of higher ups are corrupt in some way or another due to the past legacy of military corruption since Deng or even Mao. And because these people are the oldest and the most experienced, of course they are going to climb the ranks first
IMO only way is to quickly but steadily remove them and wait for the new generation which has grown up in a more orderly and law-based society to climb up through the ranks
Dong Jun's case may be connected to Miao Hua's because when Dong served as Vice Admiral, Miao Hua was serving as Director of the PLAN's Political Work Department.
In my opinion, Miao Hua's importance is greater than Dong Jun's. Dong was not even a member of the CMC, since Miao was not only a member of the CMC and the head of one of the most important departments of the PLA, but also an ally of Xi.
Edit:
A follow-up post but I'm not sure I agree with this assessment:

Might be better to reroute them to Somalia where they can enjoy absolute freedom.
In many countries, 0 generals are prosecuted for corruption.
They must be the least corrupt countries on earth with the best procurement.
Look at all their commendations and medals. They must be the greatest military officers ever.
France is already surrendering. When people thought it was just meme.

There's a difference between allowing/missing low level corruption and being corrupt yourself. In the latter case, there will be a criminal court sentence, in the former case, the government just sacks you as you're considered bad at your job, but not criminal.
I would also guess that there's a higher than usual turnover because as US has intensified it's territorial aggression, generals are fighting eachother over who has the correct approach. The losers get fired.
Incredibly naive. Just like how Xi Jinping thinks too well of Americans, Putin thinks too well of Europeans. How can you hope to improve relations with those who call you subhuman? Interestingly, the sources of hate are inverted in these two scenarios.
The hospitality shown to Xi Jinping by the Iowa family hosting him is not representative of the hatred for Red China held by the elites. Vice versa, the lip service European leaders pay for cheap resources is not representative of their populace seeing Russians as orcs to be exterminated.
