Death with reprieve usually means sitting a few years in prison under death penalty, and then punishment reclassified as life imprisonment after two years of good conduct, and then officials sit as life prisoners. It’s a unique Chinese legal practice invented by Mao Zedong
I seriously hope it’s not just some bogus charges because they told Winnie the Pooh invading Taiwan was a bad idea. The same way the secret service of Russia and American generals did before they were fired.
Some graft is cool, some isn’t. They may be corrupt or incompetent, but this is still theatre.

Sure, “corruption.”
Xi sits atop the CMC to give him necessary control of military “affairs.” He’s either an all-knowing military genius or an under-qualified bureaucrat based off how he has postured himself relative to his narrative of supreme control. And since he wants unhinged political outcomes ungrounded in military realities, one can count on these convictions being spurious. It’s a purge and that is all.
