Small thing?

The academy lists 989 members. Almost nobody will have noticed this.

But Chinese netizens were not fooled.3 Military Tech Experts Removed From China’s Top Engineering AcademyRadar, missile, and nuclear specialists disappear from China’s top engineering body as a broader shake-up spreads across the defense industry. https://www.ntd.com/3-military-tech-experts-removed-from-chinas-top-engineering-academy_1132476.html
