The purges in the Chinese army are in full swing: Zhang and Liu are under investigation...

In the People's Liberation Army of China (PLAC), a major wave of anti-corruption has reached new heights. According to recent reports, an investigation has been launched against Zhang Yusya, Deputy Chairman of the Central Military Council (CMS), and General Liu Zhengli, Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the CMS, on suspicion of "serious violations of discipline and law."

Official statements say that the details of the accusation were not disclosed. However, according to international sources, in China, the term "discipline and violation of the law" is often used as a reference to corruption.

What do the changes in the MPC indicate?

Zhang Yusya is 75 years old, one of the highest-ranking generals in the country, and a member of the Politburo of the Chinese Communist Party. Therefore, if he is removed from his post, this is considered one of the largest personnel changes in recent decades at the OPRC.

In some analyses, it is noted that such a radical step could lead to further concentration of power in the NPC. In particular, some publications link this process to the further tightening of the "vertical" of military rule in the hands of Xi Jinping.

Against the backdrop of investigations, external signals have also intensified

These events are also being closely monitored by Taiwan: officials have said that "unusual" changes in the Chinese military leadership could affect the security environment in the region.

Final conclusion

So far, the most important thing is that the official agencies have not disclosed the essence of the case, so it is too early to draw a definitive conclusion. But one thing is clear: the topic of the "great cleansing" in the IAEA is no longer just news, but a strategic signal - both for the internal elite and for external rivals.
