Xi Purges Top Generals Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli After Alleged Nuclear Leak to USA

Xi Jinping removed high-ranking generals Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli from the Central Military Commission following allegations of bribery and leaking nuclear secrets to the USA.The dismissal of these combat-experienced veterans leaves the People’s Liberation Army with a significant leadership void as only two members remain on the supreme military body.While the Chinese government maintains the purge is part of an anti-corruption drive, international observers warn the move reflects deep internal instability.
