      Having military leaders status be mainly based on loyalty is how you get Russian military quality (bad).

      There is a difference between people being purged by Xi, and Xi’s people being purged. Xi’s primary rival is General Zhang Youxia, and they have certainly butted heads over Xi’s maneuvering to consolidate a power base closer to his priorities, as opposed to the bigger picture military priorities. And of course, humiliating Hu Jianto during that bigass public meeting wasn’t straight out of How to make friends and influence people.

      Chinese politics is a bloodsport despite its opaqueish tendencies.

      Didn’t America just go through some military purges too? Like a lot?

      So the purge has just been a few people across years.  This sort of thing is actually common in the West, but it sounds like the CCP has traditionally been hands off from their military.

      Was this replacing a dissident, or a step to resolving military corruption?  Both seem equally likely.

      It could also just be hiding a medical issue.  The man who is the focus of the article was 68 when he disappeared so it isn’t unthinkable.  For comparison, the highest ranking US position tends to be held by people in their 50s.

      Is it the type of purge that involves murder/imprisonment or firing/imprisonment or just the firing?

      Bloomberg writing a feature story about 15 generals that got fired over the course of 13 years like it’s a breaking news event of something that just happened is a good example of media manipulation
