Purge at the top of the Chinese military, top general under investigation for
General Zhang Youxia

Chinese authorities have confirmed the dismissal and opening of investigations into two key figures in the country's military leadership, in a development that sheds light on internal tensions within China's power apparatus.

Zhang Youxia, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, and Liu Zhenli, chief of the Joint Staff Department, have been removed from their posts and are under investigation for “serious disciplinary violations,” official sources in Beijing said. A term that, in Chinese political practice, is often used to cover up accusations of corruption or political misconduct.

Disclosures published by the Wall Street Journal suggest that Zhang Youxia is suspected of leaking secrets about China's nuclear program to the United States, as well as accepting large sums of money to favor appointments and promotions in the military. These claims have not been officially confirmed by Chinese authorities.

In an unusual move, the People's Liberation Army's official newspaper published an explanatory article on the matter, accusing the two officials of "undermining" President Xi Jinping's authority, exacerbating corruption within the military and damaging preparations for "real war."

According to the article, the investigations show that there is "zero tolerance" for corruption and that Zhang and Liu "betrayed the trust of the Party and the military," undermining the accountability system that centers on the chairman of the Central Military Commission, a position held by Xi Jinping himself.

The harsh language used in official publications, similar to the rhetoric of the Cultural Revolution, has fueled speculation among analysts about a moment of political weakness for the Chinese president. Currently, the Central Military Commission, appointed in 2022, reports that only the head of discipline, Zhang Shengmin, remains active.

Some observers have recalled historical precedents, such as the case of Lin Biao in 1971, one of Mao Zedong's closest figures, accused of attempting a coup and killed during his escape.

It remains unclear whether this is a conspiracy against Xi Jinping or a serious case of individual treason. In a system where transparency is limited, the truth is expected to remain hidden for a long time.

What seems certain is that President Xi Jinping is increasingly consolidating power in his hands, a development with unpredictable consequences for China and regional stability.
