During a recent visit to Taiwan, former US Deputy National Security Advisor Matt Pottinger pointed out that Chinese President Xi Jinping, like former Soviet leader Stalin, constantly 'purges' the military to maintain the party's political power monopoly. Pottinger believes Xi's continuous purging of the PLA indicates he is actually preparing for war, mirroring Stalin's practices. Pottinger stressed that Taiwan, with its strong Chinese traditional roots and high global democracy rankings, should make extra efforts to ensure its story is heard by the mainland's people, despite Beijing's attempts to silence Taiwan.
