There have been repeated incidents of young people refusing to serve in the military throughout mainland China. Recently, a college student in Anhui province was stationed in Xinjiang military zone and refused to serve in the military because he did not fit in, so he was severely punished, not only not allowed to return to school for two years, but also punished nearly 50,000 yuan and included in the list of “serious breach of trust”.
The government of Hefei Shushan District in Anhui Province announced on April 4 that recruit Liu Shuai, who was stationed in Xinjiang Military Region last year, showed discomfort on the second day and asked to leave the army. The military district decided to remove the name, household registration records permanently added “refusal to serve in the military”, 2 years may not return to Anhui Agricultural University to resume school.
The punishment notice said, Liu Shuai in September last year by the physical examination, political assessment, pre-service training, approval of the military and other procedures to voluntarily enlist in the army. In November of the same year, the Disciplinary Inspection Committee of the South China Military Region of the Communist Party of China (CPC) decided to remove his name and impose a fine of two times the local standard for conscript family preference payment, i.e., RMB 46,866.
In addition to the above penalties, Liu Shuai has been included in the list of “serious defaulters in fulfilling national defense obligations”, and cannot be granted preferential credit policies or interest rate concessions for three years, and cannot engage in business for three years, and cannot become a civil servant, institution staff or state-owned enterprise staff in Shushan District, and cannot be included in the scope of hardship subsidies and guaranteed housing projects.
In recent years, the phenomenon of young people refusing to serve in the military is widespread in many parts of the mainland, and these young people have been subjected to a number of heavy official penalties.

On September 14 of the same year, the Xinzhou District Government of Shangrao City, Jiangxi Province of the Communist Party of China issued a circular dealing with the case of Xu Moumou (male), born in 1998, who refused to serve in the military.

However, during the pre-military service training, “the willingness to enlist declined”. Among them, Huang wrote an application to quit 3 times in 4 days, and Xu “often refused to participate in training and group activities for various reasons”.
