Chinese Military Purge: Two Former Defense Ministers Expelled on the Same Day Under Xi's Reign

Reported 9 months ago

The Beijing authorities expelled two former defense ministers from the party and military positions on the same day, accusing them of bribery, suggesting possible loyalty issues with leadership, and marking the first such event in Communist China's history. This move is seen as President Xi Jinping solidifying his control over the military. The recent crackdown on military corruption follows the dismissal of 11 high-ranking military officials since last year and may continue, hinting at further purges before and after the upcoming Third Plenum of the Twentieth Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.
