[RX792P]

Seems China has at least a mini-purge going on right now.

"We are seeing a whole class of leadership being junked," he said, noting that the detained general was the most senior uniformed officer in China and second only to Xi Jinping within the Communist Party’s Central Military Commission. "To arrest and detain him is extraordinary by itself."

well! this is new! when was the last time a Chinese spy worked FOR the USA?


bahahahhaaaa



China’s sudden removal of senior military leaders, including allegations that a top general leaked sensitive information to the United States, is raising new questions about internal turmoil inside the Chinese Communist Party and the readiness of the People’s Liberation Army.


Experts told Fox News Digital that while many details remain unclear, the scope of the apparent purge points to mounting instability under Chinese President Xi Jinping, with potential implications for regional security and rising tensions around Taiwan.


Beijing has not publicly confirmed espionage allegations, but reports published in Western media describe an extraordinary shakeup within China’s military leadership. Analysts caution that the lack of transparency makes definitive conclusions difficult, yet say the pattern of removals itself signals a system under strain.



let's note the espionage "charge" might merely be the usual china excuse for a purge because this General farted in some meeting with Xi.


corruption is the more likely real reason.

How a purge of China's military leadership could impact the future of Taiwan

Tang, from the Pacific Forum, doesn't see any pressure on Xi to fill the positions in the short term.


"Unless the objective is to create an internal counterweight to Zhang Shengmin," the only current member in the commission, he said.

Funny is funny.

There is a recent thread here where the topic is 'the police state" , ant the poster of the OP means the police state here in the USA..

We can talk about abuse of power by US authorities, and some actions may indeed be out of bounds or even illegal . . . .but this here business in China is the raw manifestation of what a police state is and how it does business.
