How China’s military purge could hurt its Taiwan ambitions
China is investigating top generals Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli for suspected serious violations, leaving only one member on the six-person Central Military Commission led by Xi Jinping. The purge is part of Xi's ongoing anti-corruption drive and aims to ensure military loyalty, but its full impact on China's military and Taiwan policy remains uncertain. Analysts say the shake-up may temporarily weaken China's military command but could strengthen it in the long term by consolidating Xi's control.
