Xi Jinping has lost his grip over the military. But why are we still witnessing the PLA exhibiting egregious behavior in South China sea, near Taiwan and elsewhere? Is Xi Jinping really pro-war or anti-war? The answer is shocking as China’s military is unraveling faster than anyone expected. Just days ago, the fall of He Weidong, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission and Xi Jinping’s top military loyalist, triggered a political earthquake. Since then, even more senior PLA leaders have been purged — including Xi’s handpicked Rocket Force commander and the commander of the Eastern Theater Command, responsible for operations against Taiwan. All of this ties back to a deeper crisis shaking the PLA from within.
