Xi’s biggest crackdown yet: Top PLA General purged in nuke leak scandal; a ‘COUP’ like never before?

China is rocked by a major military purge as President Xi Jinping orders a probe into top PLA General Zhang Youxia over alleged nuclear information leaks and corruption. The crackdown has left China’s Central Military Commission with just two members, marking an unprecedented concentration of power under Xi. Analysts warn the purge could impact PLA readiness and raise long-term risks around Taiwan and China-US relations.
