Xi Jinping's PLA Purge: Top Generals Ousted Amid Corruption Scandal | Vantage with Palki Sharma

China’s military landscape is witnessing a dramatic upheaval under President Xi Jinping. In a shocking move, two high-ranking military lawmakers, You Haitao and Li Pengcheng, were removed from the National People’s Congress amid allegations of “violating law and discipline.” This development marks an expansion of Xi’s relentless anti-corruption campaign, targeting the upper echelons of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA). From the Rocket Force to procurement divisions, the crackdown aims to address alleged corruption but raises questions about Xi’s motives. The U.S. Pentagon warns this internal purge could hinder China’s military modernization goals. With territorial tensions high in the South China Sea and Xi’s grip tightening on the PLA, how will these changes shape China’s defence strategy? Palki Sharma decodes the fallout.
