China purges top generals in corruption crackdown: What is the India border link?
The military has been one of the main targets of a broader corruption crackdown ordered by Xi in 2012.
China has removed two top military officials, Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli, from the supreme military command body, the Central Military Commission (CMC), due to alleged serious violations of discipline and law. This move comes as part of President Xi Jinping's ongoing anti-corruption campaign that has targeted senior officials across various sectors since 2012.
The removal leaves only two active members on the CMC, including Xi himself. The military has been a primary focus of the corruption crackdown, with numerous senior officials and generals investigated, removed, and purged over the years. The CMC, which includes both state and Communist Party structures, functions as a single institution.
