Top Brass Purged in China's Military Amidst Unprecedented Power Struggle

Beijing. The high ranks of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) have been decimated. Serious questions have arisen about the ongoing power struggle within the country following the removal of China's top general Zhang Youxia and another senior military official, General Liu Zhenli, over the weekend.

This has also fueled concerns about how this will affect China's war-fighting capabilities, whether it is the plan to forcibly take over Taiwan or involvement in any other major regional conflict.
