China's Xi Jinping Removes Top PLA General Amid Reports of Military Rift | Spotlight | N18G

Chinese President Xi Jinping has launched another round of military purges. In the latest, the purge targeted General He Weidong, the number 2 in the People's Liberation Army and a key figure in Taiwan strategy. Reports suggest internal dissent, corruption allegations, and factional struggles within the Communist Party. The news of the disappearance of General He is accompanied by other unconfirmed reports last week of sackings of senior officers. The latest dismissals come six months after Xi suspended Miao Hua, another CMC member, for "serious violations of discipline" — a phrase that usually refers to corruption in the Chinese military.
