The article analyzes the recent investigation and dismissal of high-ranking Chinese military officials, Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli, framing it as a significant move by Xi Jinping to consolidate absolute power within the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and prepare for potential future conflicts, particularly concerning Taiwan.

Zhang Youxia, member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and vice chairman of the Central Military Commission
Liu Zhenli, member of the Central Military Commission and chief of the Joint Staff Department of the Central Military Commission
Suspected of serious violations of discipline and law
After deliberation and decision by the Party Central Committee
Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli have been placed under investigation.
Hello everyone
Welcome to Second Master's Story Yesterday
Chinese state media has released another major piece of news.
The official announcement has been made that Zhang Youxia, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, and Liu Zhenli, a member of the Central Military Commission, have been dismissed from their posts.
This follows the official announcement last October that nine generals had been dismissed from their posts.
Another major move by Xi Jinping in the military purge
What happened to Liu Zhenli's downfall?
There were signs all along.
However, Zhang Youxia's downfall was indeed unexpected by many.
Zhang Youxia was once Xi Jinping's most trusted military confidant.
The first-ranked Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission
Historically regarded as Xi Jinping's ballast in the military
Previously, the military had weathered several rounds of anti-corruption campaigns without incident.
Why didn't he dodge this time?
What kind of mentality and motivation does this reflect in Xi Jinping?
Let me first state that up to now...
Some of the latest developments that have been published in overseas media
This means that Zhang Youxia was arrested along with his wife and son.
After his son Zhang Sheng was arrested
His office at the Army Research Institute was also searched.
Zhang Youxia had thirteen subordinates in the Central Military Commission and seventeen fellow villagers in Shaanxi.
They were also arrested.
This news...
This still needs further confirmation.
This downfall wasn't entirely without warning.
Actually, there have been many rumors since last month.
Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli's last public appearance was on December 22, 2025.
They attended the ceremony held by the Central Military Commission to promote officers to the rank of general.
Several major events since then
They haven't shown up since.
Especially in the past few days
That is, January 20th
Xi Jinping personally presided over the opening ceremony of a seminar for principal leading cadres at the provincial and ministerial levels of the Communist Party of China.
Four heavyweight figures were absent at the time.
They are Zhang Youxia, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission
Shi Taifeng, Minister of the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee
Ma Xingrui, former secretary of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region
And Vice Premier He Lifeng of the State Council
Among them, He Lifeng?
Visiting abroad
Normal absence
The other three people
Since he is a member of the Politburo, logically...
This is an occasion I should attend, but...
They were all absent.
So at the time, rumors circulated that all three of them had gotten into trouble.
What happened to Ma Xingrui, the former Party Secretary of Xinjiang?
It's actually been a long time.
It's pretty much certain that something happened.
We're just waiting for the official announcement.
We'll talk about that later.
The current situation of Organization Minister Shi Taifeng is unknown.
It could also be said that the situation is not optimistic.
The most surprising thing is actually Zhang Youxia.
Because just two months ago
That is, December 11, 2025.
It's in the People's Daily, the official media of the Chinese Communist Party.
An article by Zhang Youxia was published.
The entire text contains at least twenty instances of praising President Xi.
Zhang Youxia sings loudly
It is said that we must resolutely prevent people from being two-faced and engaging in false loyalty.
This was less than two months after they made such a high-profile declaration of loyalty.
He was suddenly taken down
Judging from this rhythm...
When Xi Jinping appointed nine generals last October
They may already be planning to acquire Zhang Youxia.
It's just a matter of timing.
In recent years, in the high-level politics of the CCP
There is a very interesting phenomenon
It's just one person.
The more frequently and forcefully he makes his statements...
This often means that he may face being brought down.
Zhang Youxia is not unaware of this.
But the problem is...
Under the current circumstances
Loyalty based solely on language is no longer enough to protect oneself.
I introduced Zhang Youxia in a previous video.
His connection with Xi Jinping runs very deep.
Starting from his father, General Zhang Zongxun, one of the founding generals of the People's Republic of China.
The Zhang and Xi families are longtime friends.
Because of this parental relationship
After Xi Jinping seized power
He vigorously promoted Zhang Youxia
He rose through the ranks to become the second-in-command of the Central Military Commission, a position second only to the emperor.
Moreover, Zhang Youxia himself participated in the Sino-Vietnamese War in the 1980s.
As a front-line commander
He has achieved real military exploits.
He is one of the few senior generals in the People's Liberation Army who have actually participated in actual combat.
so what
He is highly valued by Xi Jinping.
It was once considered by many to be Xi Jinping's most important fulcrum for controlling the military.
Especially the previous rounds of cleaning.
Zhang Youxia escaped unscathed each time.
Many people think so.
He has landed safely.
This time, the fall from power
It really surprised everyone.
So what exactly is the problem?
Why is Xi Jinping constantly cracking down on his key advisors?
Is this purge related to a future war across the Taiwan Strait?
If Zhang Youxia was corrupt
So the leverage is readily available.
Zhang Youxia once served as the Minister of the General Armaments Department.
This is a very lucrative department.
His successor was Lee Sang-bok, the Minister of National Defense who was later investigated.
So, when it comes to corruption...
That's a sure thing every time you investigate.
But it's quite obvious.
Corruption was not the main reason for Zhang Youxia's investigation.
Let's take a look at the editorial published by the PLA Daily.
The direct characterization of Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli in the text
It was explained very clearly.
Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli, as senior cadres of the Party and the army
Seriously betrayed the trust and expectations of the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission
Seriously tramples on and undermines the system of the Chairman of the Central Military Commission assuming overall responsibility.
This seriously undermines the Party's absolute leadership over the military.
Political and corruption issues that undermine the foundation of the Party's rule
It has had an extremely negative impact on the Party, the country, and the military.
I need to emphasize this point.
The most important point is that it seriously tramples on and undermines the system of the Chairman of the Central Military Commission assuming overall responsibility.
Let's compare.
Three months ago, when Xi Jinping investigated and punished He Weidong and Miao Hua...
The official characterization released by the People's Liberation Army is as follows:
This seriously undermines the principle of the Party commanding the gun and the system of the Chairman of the Central Military Commission assuming overall responsibility.
Can you all see the difference?
One is serious trampling and destruction.
One is severe damage
Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli added the word "trampling" to their names.
These two words weren't added randomly.
This means that Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli's crimes were compounded.
The nature of the crime could be even more serious than that of He Weidong and Miao Hua.
However, the most crucial charge among these crimes is undermining the Chairman of the Central Military Commission's responsibility system.
This isn't a crime in the legal sense, but...
But it's a death sentence in a political sense.
What does that mean?
In plain language
It means someone with ulterior motives is trying to usurp the emperor's power.
Let me first explain what the Chairman of the Central Military Commission responsibility system is.
Everyone knows
The CCP is a political party that seized power through armed uprising.
His survival strategy for the past century has been to maintain firm control over the army.
To keep the army in one's own hands
This is the well-known "the Party commands the gun".
Who controls the gun?
Whoever effectively holds supreme power
In this process
There have also been serious incidents where generals with large armies threatened the leadership of the Party.
For example, Zhang Guotao, whom we are familiar with.
He established a separate central government during the Long March.
At that time, Zhang Guotao's Fourth Front Army was strong and well-equipped.
Its strength has far surpassed that of the weakened Central Red Army.
Therefore, Zhang Guotao disobeyed orders.
Intending to start anew
This caused the biggest split crisis in the history of the Chinese Communist Party.
They almost sent Mao to the Imperial Ancestral Temple ahead of schedule.
Learn from this lesson
The later CCP
Military power was strictly guarded against.
After the Yan'an Rectification Movement
All military affairs
All of these are entirely the responsibility of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China.
Major decisions
The decision must be made by the Chairman of the Central Military Commission.
That is, only one decision-maker is allowed.
The Vice Chairman and Members of the Central Military Commission
It's all just division of labor and cooperation.
No final decision-making power
This is based on the same underlying logic as ancient emperors' firm control over military power.
The goal is to prevent generals from abusing their military power and becoming too powerful.
Threatening supreme power
Mao Zedong never relinquished his position as Chairman of the Central Military Commission until his death.
That's the reason.
Why was Deng Xiaoping able to easily become the General Secretary of the Party back then?
Hu Yaobang and Zhao Ziyang
It's because he's the Chairman of the Central Military Commission.
The gun barrel has to obey him.
After Xi Jinping came to power...
They especially valued controlling military power.
In January 2015
The PLA Daily published a commentary on its front page.
The content of the Chairman of the Central Military Commission's responsibility system was elaborated in detail.
In short, all the armed forces in the country are under the unified leadership and command of the Chairman of the Central Military Commission.
All major issues concerning national defense and military development shall be decided and determined by the Chairman of the Central Military Commission.
The overall work of the Central Military Commission is presided over and overseen by the Chairman of the Central Military Commission.
2017
Xi Jinping put forward three safeguards.
Upholding the authority of the Party Central Committee
Maintain core
Upholding and implementing the Chairman of the Central Military Commission's responsibility system
2023
Xi Jinping also published a book specifically for the People's Liberation Army.
Study Guide to the Chairman Responsibility System of the Central Military Commission
To reiterate this matter
Even in March 2025
The government report released by Premier Li Qiang
The implementation of the Chairman of the Central Military Commission's responsibility system was also emphasized in the lectures.
To put it simply
Xi Jinping is so tireless
Emphasizing the Chairman of the Central Military Commission's responsibility system on various occasions
The point is to ensure that the gun is firmly in our own hands.
No one can overstep their bounds
And overstepping one's bounds is not allowed.
Xi Jinping's several major purges of the military's top brass over the years...
Among all the crimes
Almost all of them could not escape the violation of the Chairman of the Central Military Commission's responsibility system.
This shows that...
Behind the high-profile fight against corruption
The core issue is still the maintenance of supreme power.
So
These military leaders, including Zhang Youxia
Why is Xi Jinping so uneasy?
Eventually, it went from being something we relied on so heavily to something we absolutely had to clean.
Take a look at this picture, everyone.
With the elimination of Zhang Youxia, Liu Zhenli, He Weidong, Miao Hua, and others
The Central Military Commission leadership originally determined by the First Plenary Session of the 20th CPC Central Committee has been almost entirely wiped out.
Among the seven committee members
Five have already been taken down.
Only Xi Jinping, ranked first, and Zhang Shengmin, ranked last, remain.
It turns out you can even create a WeChat group chat.
Now it's only possible to send messages one-on-one between two people.
This Zhang Shengmin...
He is the Secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Central Military Commission.
That is, handling cleaning matters.
He must
Xi Jinping has been continuously purging the military in recent years.
Its strength is great
This is arguably unprecedented in the history of the Chinese Communist Party.
Including Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli
Since Xi Jinping came to power in 2012
He has purged more than 200,000 military officers.
Nearly 160 people with the rank of major general or above
There were 10 members in total for the Central Military Commission.
4 vice chairpersons
In the history of communist countries...
Perhaps only Stalin's purges can compare to it.
You should know
Even a major event like Lin Biao's defection back then...
Mao only purged a few of Lin Biao's subordinate generals afterward.
There was no purge of the top brass of the Central Military Commission.
Xi Jinping is directly targeting the core leadership.
It's no exaggeration to say
It means wiping out the entire leadership of the People's Liberation Army.
Such a strong cleaning force
If we only understand his motives from the perspective of anti-corruption...
Clearly, this is far from sufficient.
Because of Zhang Youxia's position, seniority, and influence in the military.
If Xi Jinping really only wants to clean up corruption...
There are definitely gentler and more dignified ways to handle this.
There's absolutely no need to take him down in such a blatantly ruthless way.
There's no need for such a large-scale, thorough cleanup.
He eliminated all the close associates he had promoted over the past decade.
Because from a practical point of view
This is tantamount to slapping oneself in the face.
self-crushing wings
Therefore, it is necessary to clarify Xi Jinping's motives.
This involves the underlying logic of supreme power.
For the emperor
What kind of ministers does he need?
Which officials did he need to eliminate?
To make it easier for everyone to understand...
Let me start with a typical historical case.
Kangxi's anti-corruption campaign
As everyone knows.
Kangxi ascended the throne at the age of eight.
At the very beginning
The real power was in the hands of the regent, Oboi.
When Kangxi was sixteen years old
They devised a plan to capture and kill Ao Bai.
That's how he seized power.
To prevent future generations from repeating the same mistakes
Another powerful minister like Ao Bai, who effectively usurped the emperor's power, emerged.
Emperor Kangxi spent his entire life playing power games and maintaining balance among his ministers.
To put it bluntly
This means supporting two or more factions within the imperial court.
Let these factions check and balance each other.
To prevent one company from becoming dominant
Let me give you an example.
During the Kangxi era
He first supported Grand Secretary Suo'etu.
After eliminating the other disobedient powerful ministers, what happened next?
To prevent Suo'etu from abusing his power
He also supported another Grand Secretary, Nalan Mingzhu.
Use Nalan Mingzhu to restrain Suo'etu
Nalan Mingzhu has a very famous son
The great poet Nalan Xingde
If life were only as beautiful as our first meeting, why would the autumn wind bring sorrow to the painted fan?
That is Nalan Xingde's famous line
Both Suo'etu and Nalan Mingzhu were close confidants of Emperor Kangxi.
Each faction had its own central government.
Powerful for a time
He was also involved in the succession struggle during the Kangxi reign.
Two powerful ministers were deposed multiple times.
It was used multiple times.
Power struggles spanned several decades of the Kangxi reign.
Finally, in Kangxi's later years
The two powerful ministers were removed one after another under various pretexts.
They completely wiped out their influence in the imperial court.
They've started supporting new powerful ministers again.
Kangxi was such a smart person
Does he even know about the group of people he personally promoted?
Normally forming cliques and engaging in private activities
Selling official positions
They're digging pits for each other.
Of course I know!
However, water that is too clear has no fish.
A person who is too discerning will have no followers.
As the emperor...
We still need to rely on these people to do the work.
You should replace them with a new group of people.
That's right.
Therefore, within the emperor's control.
As long as these ministers' power does not threaten the imperial authority
Then just turn a blind eye
When they sensed that their faction had become a threat to imperial power
Then it absolutely cannot be kept for the New Year.
In the end?
There were five Grand Secretaries during the Kangxi reign.
Four were dismissed by Kangxi
Kangxi dismissed three of the six ministers.
In short
The core of Kangxi's imperial strategy was balance.
Hyenas are allowed to stick together in groups.
tearing each other apart
But we absolutely cannot allow any hyena to usurp the master's authority.
Forming a force that threatens the master
Through continuous and intensive cleaning
Innovate
Maintaining imperial power as the ultimate decisive force
In fact, Xi Jinping's logic for power cleansing is the same.
Before he had firmly grasped military power
He vigorously promoted his own people, such as Zhang Youxia, Miao Hua, and He Weidong.
After gaining power
And just like Emperor Kangxi, they turned the tables and cleaned up the mess.
These close associates have already become a threat.
So many people think...
The purging of high-ranking generals in recent years
They were all personally promoted by Xi Jinping.
Why doesn't he let it go himself?
Actually
Was he promoted by Xi Jinping?
It is not the key factor in determining whether or not cleaning is needed.
Rather, it's whether your existence threatens the highest authority.
If it is threatened
Then it's only a matter of time before I win you over.
Regardless of the charge
So let's look back at Zhang Youxia.
He was already second only to the emperor.
He is currently the most powerful figure within the military.
According to Zhang Youxia's resume
He is not a general who simply depends on Xi Jinping's personal power.
His military career was relatively complete.
Very experienced
Having experienced the system of field troops
I have also witnessed the operational methods of the Chinese Communist Party's military in different eras.
This kind of person has been in the military for decades.
It's impossible to be without your own faction.
More importantly...
Xi Jinping himself is not a military man.
He doesn't understand military operations.
His control over the army
In fact, it relied entirely on these high-ranking generals.
This inevitably leads to a situation where...
That is, although these generals usually shout slogans
pledge of loyalty
However, they will still outwardly comply while inwardly disobeying in private.
While enriching themselves
Deliberately cultivating one's own faction and power
Power is only responsible for its source.
These forces, secretly obeying the orders of high-ranking generals
For Xi Jinping
This refers to the so-called undermining of the Chairman of the Central Military Commission's responsibility system.
Therefore, continuous cleaning
Prevent these forces from growing too powerful
This has become the underlying logic for Xi Jinping to maintain supreme power.
Speaking of which
You might have some questions.
The military leaders who were taken down in the last two years
That all happened within the military.
A seasoned veteran who's been around for decades
It's no exaggeration to say that a tree has deep roots.
Why in the face of Xi Jinping's purges?
Defeated one by one
Completely powerless to fight back
They can only wait to be beheaded.
The previously rumored mutiny of overseas bed-listening therapists
Why has it never appeared before?
Before Mao Zedong dealt with Lin Biao...
That's much harder!
Mao Zedong began his nationwide tour six months in advance.
Go to various military regions to get some fresh air
Preventing major military leaders
To prevent them from uniting in rebellion
First, defeat Lin Biao through public opinion.
That was fast and ruthless.
He didn't have any of those preludes at all.
In no time
Just like that, they took it down.
What exactly does Xi Jinping rely on?
This inevitably brings to mind the military reforms that Xi Jinping had previously put so much effort into.
To be honest
Xi Jinping in power struggles
He does indeed have his own set of insights.
He has been pushing for military reform since 2015.
Transform the PLA's traditional seven military regions into five theater commands.
Various joint command headquarters, staff offices, and committees were established.
The power that was originally concentrated in the various headquarters and military regions has been dispersed.
Many troops
Even the serial number was changed.
It's equivalent to dismantling the PLA's original system.
Reassemble
Completely sever the original historical framework
Military factions originally formed due to historical inheritance
It was naturally disintegrated.
They can no longer form a combined force.
So these purged military leaders
Although it has been rooted in the military for many years
However, under Xi Jinping's series of combined measures
The general does not know his soldiers, and the soldiers do not know their general.
In the actual operation of the military
Completely unable to form an effective resistance force
In addition, the CCP military's long-standing system of the Chairman of the Central Military Commission taking responsibility
All troop deployments
Without the chairman's restraint
You simply cannot mobilize the army.
Let alone Zhang Youxia and his ilk
Lin Biao, whose disciples were found all over the world
A powerful military leader who commands a large following within the army
He was under Mao's suppression
They wouldn't dare to rebel.
The Huai Ren Tang Mutiny
Without Hua Guofeng as the nominal leader taking the lead...
The others didn't dare either.
Within the CCP's power structure
The leader holds the most core and supreme power.
His political purges were inherently legitimate.
Any subject in the face of such power
Resisting is extremely difficult.
Neither dare nor can
They could only obediently wait to die.
Even the most powerful Lin Biao could only flee.
He fell to his death in Undur Khan
Of course!
Even a rabbit will bite when cornered.
Xi Jinping's unprecedented purge
Inevitably, this will cause a sense of shared sorrow among the troops.
The atmosphere of panic that "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold"
Therefore, it cannot be completely ruled out.
Some generals were pushed to the limit
It may also lead to thoughts of taking risks.
But rebellion is such a momentous event...
He wants political cooperation.
For example, the presence of people like Bo Xilai and Zhou Yongkang within the Party to cooperate.
Only then is there a possibility of success.
Within the current CCP
In a situation where everyone is a member of Xi Jinping's faction
No other military commander possesses this kind of political coordination and mobilization ability.
So
Mutiny occurs in the People's Liberation Army
The probability is currently very, very small.
To be honest...
Xi Jinping's current power...
It can still be described as as stable as Mount Tai.
To some extent
He has indeed achieved the level of stability that Mao Zedong once had in controlling power.
Under the current circumstances
Unless he retires on his own or dies of old age.
Otherwise, there would be no force within the party that could threaten him.
We know
In the CCP's officialdom...
An official who is not corrupt
Then there would be no way to transfer benefits.
It's difficult to get a meal at the table when someone is promoted.
Without factional support
fighting alone
He also found it difficult to gain a foothold in the power struggle.
Even though Xi Jinping has been fighting corruption for so many years
He was doing his utmost to prevent his subordinates from forming cliques and establishing power.
However, the ecology of officialdom dictates...
Whoever
Once you enter this circle
He can only adapt to this ecosystem.
Corruption is a must, and so is forming cliques.
So the tragedy of people like Zhang Youxia lies in...
Regardless of his loyalty
His very existence at this stage already constitutes a threat.
With the factions of He Weidong and Miao Hua eliminated,
You, Zhang Youxia, are left all alone.
How can one sleep soundly then?
Xi Jinping's power is not yet fully consolidated
When the military was needed to ballast the ship
Zhang Youxia's seniority in the military is an advantage that Xi Jinping must rely on.
But after Xi Jinping had already seized power
This advantage can immediately turn into a hidden danger.
The purges of power in the history of totalitarianism
These are often not due to personal grudges.
Rather, the logic of how power operates has fundamentally changed.
When I need you
You are the innocent one.
I don't need you
He is guilty no matter what.
To understand this?
Only then can we truly see the deeper reasons behind Zhang Youxia's downfall.
Xi Jinping is no longer satisfied with just ensuring the military doesn't cause trouble.
Rather, it is to ensure that the military does not become a variable under any circumstances.
He removed so many high-ranking generals
There's basically no filling of the gaps.
Seven people purged from the Central Military Commission
Now only he and Zhang Shengmin are left, but...
No new person was promoted to fill the vacancy.
He did not fill many of the vacancies for general.
This blank space itself
This reflects some of Xi Jinping's considerations.
That is to prevent newly promoted people from repeating the same mistakes.
Forming new hilltops
For Xi Jinping
What he wants is for the People's Liberation Army to enter a state with only one leader.
The stage of only obeying one command
It is under this logic
Zhang Youxia is indispensable
Instantly became replaceable
Even must be cleared
Therefore, Zhang Youxia was eliminated.
The specific crime is not important.
It's more like a functional elimination.
It's not because you did anything wrong.
Rather, it's because of the kind of role you represent.
It is no longer permitted to exist.
The People's Liberation Army is now being reshaped into a highly unified and single-minded army.
He was no longer even a member of the SS.
Rather, they are the real Xi Jinping faction.
This is precisely the most dangerous yet most familiar scenario on the eve of war.
What's dangerous about this kind of script?
That's unprofessional.
These batches of generals purged by Xi Jinping
Especially Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli
One is the only practical person who is both politically sound and professionally competent.
One is the Chief of the General Staff, responsible for formulating the overall military operational plans.
That's all so far.
The most senior member of the People's Liberation Army
You could also say he's the most professional person.
You need to cleanse this kind of person.
Then future generals might just be subservient.
Just a submissive and obedient person.
What about these people?
Can Xi Jinping's grand vision be realized?
That raises a big question mark.
Now let's talk about...
After Xi Jinping's purge
What impact will this have on the situation across the Taiwan Strait?
Previously, when I was talking about He Weidong and Miao Hua being taken down...
It is estimated that this is due to the reshuffling of the military's top brass.
This may force Xi Jinping to postpone his plans for a war across the Taiwan Strait.
Because the worst thing to do in war is to change generals on the eve of battle.
During the preparation period for war
Large-scale purge of senior generals
In fact, it will disrupt the transmission of experience.
Disrupting command and coordination
Creating an atmosphere of panic
It could even undermine the soldiers' morale.
The military needs to be reorganized from top to bottom.
But look at it now...
This viewpoint might simply be our perspective from the viewpoint of a normal person.
It is very likely not Xi Jinping's idea.
Where is the rationality of normal people?
It is based on thorough consideration.
Xi Jinping, on the contrary, is actually quite the opposite.
He is highly sensitive to uncertainty.
Even the kind of people they instinctively reject
He has been pursuing
It's actually a form of strict enforcement.
A highly unified state
On January 12th
The PLA Daily published an article
"To forge the People's Army under the Leadership of the Party into an even stronger force"
There is a passage that reads: "The training must become more in-depth the more challenging the task becomes."
Before the Crossing the Yangtze River Campaign
It refers to the Crossing the Yangtze River Campaign in 1949.
The various units carried out a reorganization that lasted for several months.
After seriously dealing with those who were arrogant and complacent, and those who violated discipline
A million soldiers crossed the Yangtze River
Both the dry and the rotten were destroyed to annihilate the enemy.
He won the hearts of the people by not committing any offenses against them.
New Journey
Political rectification campaign advances in depth
The centenary of the founding of the People's Liberation Army has reached a critical stage.
This means we are closer to victory.
It means having the courage to move forward despite difficulties.
And the determination not to leave this war to future generations.
Did anyone glean anything from this passage?
Summarize it briefly.
Training troops is for the purpose of preparing for war.
That's very straightforward.
PLA military activities around the Taiwan Strait in the past two years
This actually confirms this point.
Whether it is large-scale island-wide exercises
Or frequent troop movements across theaters of war.
Actually, Xi Jinping's real purpose...
It's not just about deterring Taiwan.
It wasn't even a warning to the United States.
Rather, it was a test of the PLA's command system.
Reaction speed and obedience under high pressure
It is precisely in this context that...
Xi Jinping began to lean towards a seemingly contradictory approach
In reality, it's a choice based on strong personal logic.
He would rather sacrifice some command efficiency.
In exchange, absolute centralization of command is also required.
In other words
He is willing to take the risk of not playing well enough.
However, they are unwilling to take the risk that their orders will not be fully carried out.
Where are powerful military leaders like Zhang Youxia?
It is a symbol of this kind of risk.
They could very well prevent Xi Jinping from effectively commanding the military at crucial moments.
so
Xi Jinping launches a major purge of the military
It doesn't mean we're not going to fight.
On the contrary
This likely indicates that he is preparing for war.
What he is reflecting is not confidence but anxiety.
It's not composure, but a sense of urgency.
In other words...
It is very likely that Xi Jinping is considering a timetable for war.
That's why they're so eager to eliminate it.
Those factors I perceive as destabilizing factors within the military
And what about the current international situation?
This indeed provided Xi Jinping with a once-in-a-lifetime window of opportunity.
Everyone knows that.
After Trump took office
Especially recently
Under the banner of "America First"
Return to the Monroe Doctrine
Striving to regain control of the Western Hemisphere
Therefore...
He even went so far as to send troops to arrest the disobedient Maduro.
It even offended its European allies.
Claiming to annex Greenland and Canada, both located in the Western Hemisphere
These are related to the previous US global strategy
They are completely different.
Considering Trump's previous proposal of a G2 system of co-governance between the US and China.
It can be inferred.
Trump is very likely to abandon the previous US Asia-Pacific strategy.
Without the United States as the international police
The world order is rapidly heading towards chaos.
Just like Canadian Prime Minister Carney
He made a famous statement during his visit to China.
We have accepted the world as it is.
Although it's not what we imagined
This is an era of major reshuffling of the international order.
Might makes right again
Therefore, for Xi Jinping
The once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to launch a major offensive has arrived.
We can see this situation.
I believe Xi Jinping can also see it.
In this urgent situation where time waits for no one
His large-scale purge of the army
It is very likely part of the war timetable he drafted.
If this wave of purges is the final stage of the generational change in the PLA leadership...
So perhaps the younger generation of successors are the true "Wolf Warriors."
So what?
Many people feel that the cleaning caused a chaotic situation
This means the risk of war in the Taiwan Strait has decreased.
This may not be reality.
