Why Xi Jinping’s closest generals are being purged

.

Over the past few months, the massive purge inside the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has been nothing short of jaw-dropping. Strangely, most of those targeted appear to be Xi Jinping’s own close generals. It defies logic—no military leader would willingly eliminate such a large number of loyalists. Is Xi acting on his own, driven by growing paranoia about loyalty? Or is this the work of his political opponents, systematically clearing out his influence within the military? According to information obtained by two China experts, Xi Jinping attempted to stage a power move and failed. The result? His loyalists are now being purged on a massive scale.
