China's PLA in Turmoil? China's Defence Minister Is "Under Investigation" | Vantage with Palki Sharma

China’s Defence Minister Admiral Dong Jun is under investigation for corruption, marking the third consecutive defence minister to face such charges. President Xi Jinping’s anti-corruption campaign in the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has already removed Dong’s predecessors, General Li Shangfu and Wei Fenghe, from their roles. These developments highlight deeper concerns about corruption in China’s military, raising doubts about its capability to achieve Xi’s goal of being ready to invade Taiwan by 2027. Dong’s refusal to meet US Secretary Lloyd Austin at a recent Laos defence meeting further underscores the strained US-China military ties. What does this mean for the PLA and Xi’s leadership?

If that is the case, you have nothing to worry about isn't it?

[jtchunga]

It is not corruption purg, but rather purging the likely opponents.

Thank you amazing China from India🇮🇳. Indians must always remember the *shocking* day December 8 2021. An Indian highest priority VIP aircraft mission transporting India's most important senior commander *Bipin* along with all of India's most highest ranking captains, generals, officers, chiefs, squadron leaders all onboard crashed resulting in the death of all 14 passengers. British Junior Apprentice Seaman trainee; *Landon Churchill* verified & confirmed this crash. He later laughs out loud and famously said "If India cannot even guarantee their most important senior military officer safety during a short and simple 4 minute flight, how can they possibly accomplish anything?"

[shumingtan]

unlike us, secretary of dod is just a politician needs to keep up the appearances.

[Flyinghigh]

Who killed Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada ?
