Hindustan Times Is China’s Strongman Preparing For A Coup? Xi’s Corruption Hammer Smashes Family Ties, Old Loyalties

China’s President Xi Jinping has launched a sweeping military purge that critics say has handed him total control of the armed forces. Reports claim top generals, including Xi’s childhood friend Zhang Youxia, are under investigation or removed over corruption and “discipline violations.” The shake-up has shrunk the powerful Central Military Commission to its smallest size ever, leaving Xi and one watchdog in charge. Analysts say Xi fears disloyalty or even a coup as he tightens his grip. With the PLA in turmoil, experts warn the purge could delay any attempt to seize Taiwan by force.
