  1. This is relevant to the geopolitical balance of East Asia as Xi continues his defense purge of PLA staff. This comes shortly following the shocking ouster of Zhang Youxia, one of if not the most respected general in the PLA.

  2. Xi’s gonna be picking random Weibo users to invade Taiwan…but in all seriousness this is either a reaction to Russia 2022 failures and mass corruption or he’s scared of everything

    He’s an absolute dictator so maybe the obvious part

  3. Yeah, he’s serious about picking the military option for Taiwan. Between this and the CMC purge, he wants a senior leadership that’s going to push to get the forces ready.

  4. GoUpYeBaldHead on

    Feels like Xi’s getting more paranoid, and retracting into a bubble, much like Putin. I bet the ousted military leaders told him truths about their readiness for reunification that Xi wasn’t willing to hear.
