Xi Jinping Purges Top General Zhang Youxia from Military Body

Beijing has taken a dramatic step as **Zhang Youxia** and other high-ranking military commanders have been abruptly removed from the powerful Central Military Commission. This sweeping decision marks the latest escalation in an ongoing, aggressive anti-corruption crackdown led by the highest levels of the Chinese government.

The Fall of Zhang Youxia

Among those ousted is the prominent general who previously commanded People’s Liberation Army forces during major high-altitude border friction against India. His active leadership directly oversaw volatile military standoffs at Doklam as well as the violent, hand-to-hand skirmishes in the Galwan Valley.

State announcements confirmed that these senior military figures are currently facing intense internal probes for severe disciplinary violations. The sudden removal effectively strips them of all supreme command authority within the nation’s premier defense apparatus.

Observers globally are closely monitoring the fallout from this unprecedented internal restructuring inside Beijing’s military hierarchy. Analysts note that removing top commanders with direct combat experience signals a profound shift in internal command stability.
