Xi Jinping’s sweeping purges inside China’s military are accelerating. Top generals are disappearing, corruption probes are spreading, and loyalty to Xi now matters more than battlefield readiness. But these purges could weaken the very military Xi wants ready for conflict. What’s really happening inside the Chinese Communist Party—and why... show more

Xi’s Generals Are Disappearing – Here’s What It Really Means. You’ve seen the headlines: “Top Chinese generals disappear!” “Rocket Force leadership purged!” “Xi Jinping is losing control!” But here’s the hard truth: Purges in authoritarian regimes don’t show weakness—they demonstrate absolute control. In this video, I break down exactly why Xi is purging his generals, what it means (and what it doesn’t), and how the Chinese Communist Party maintains power through fear, not loyalty.

🚨🇨🇳 INTERVIEW: CHINA’S GENERALS ARE VANISHING - THE XI JINPING PURGE CONTINUES China’s top military leaders keep disappearing. The defense minister. The rocket force command. The people who control China’s nukes. Gone. David Zhang says this isn’t about corruption; it’s about control. The Chinese President is purging his own inner circle, terrified of betrayal inside the ranks. Generals are being fired, detained, or silenced with no explanation. What’s going on inside the world’s second-largest military and economy? We discuss: •⁠ ⁠Why Xi no longer trusts the generals guarding China’s nuclear weapons •⁠ ⁠⁠How secret arrests and purges are destabilizing the entire chain of command •⁠ ⁠⁠Whether this paranoia could push Xi toward a war with Taiwan •⁠ ⁠⁠Why his inner circle looks more like a revolving door than a government •⁠ ⁠⁠And what these disappearances reveal about the true state of China’s regime David says the façade of control is cracking. And when authoritarian leaders start turning on their own, it never ends quietly. 01:52 – Winnie the Pooh character banned after Xi Jinping memes? 04:05 – Xi Jinping's father survived Cultural Revolution purges 08:16 – Anti-corruption purge started consolidating total power in 2013 11:48 – Xi made enemies everywhere but removed their positions 13:34 – Li Keqiang's suspicious heart attack breaks party rules 17:31 – Political commissars control military alongside commanders for loyalty 20:10 – Zhang Youxia refuses to look at Xi on camera 22:09 – Nine generals purged including Taiwan invasion commander 26:42 – Theory: Xi attempted coup after losing military control 31:30 – Purged generals possibly dead, no confirmation they're alive 35:15 – Credible sources say Xi already stepped down privately 39:28 – Hu Jintao escorted out after discovering his allies purged 50:55 – Fujian carrier launch suspiciously small-scale and downplayed 54:38 – 2027 Taiwan invasion less likely amid power struggles 59:01 – Project 981: Keep leaders alive till 150 through organs 01:05:30 – 30-40% of Chinese know about the Tiananmen Square massacre 01:18:05 – Bridge built last year already collapsed in China

Why China’s Military Is a Paper Dragon — and Why It’ll Collapse If It Invades Taiwan. China’s Top Generals Are Falling One by One. Xi Is Repeating Stalin’s Worst Military Mistake. China’s military might look powerful on TV — but behind the parades and propaganda, it’s falling apart. In this episode, I expose why Xi Jinping’s so-called “war machine” is rotting from within. From purged generals like Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli to a culture of corruption and fake loyalty, the PLA has become a paper dragon — loud, shiny, and hollow. If Beijing ever invades Taiwan, it won’t be a battle… it’ll be a breakdown.

Xi Jinping has launched another sweeping purge—this time taking down one of China’s top generals Zhang Youxia. Paranoia is spreading through the People’s Liberation Army as Xi wipes out even his own loyalists. What does this mean for China’s military readiness, internal stability, and the risk of war with Taiwan?

“We are witnessing the turning point of the Chinese Communist Party rule. … The chain of command in the military is totally broken,” says veteran China analyst and Epoch Times columnist Heng He. Two top military generals, Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli, were recently put under investigation for "serious disciplinary and legal violations." This comes on the heels of a series of purges of top Chinese military leaders. This means five of the seven members of China’s Central Military Commission have now effectively been purged or removed. Only two remain. And one of those two is Xi Jinping himself. In my deep-dive interview with He, he lays out why he’s convinced the latest purges are the signs of something historic happening in China that has never happened before.

“There's no question of the fact that Xi Jinping is now less of a dominant leader than he was six eight months ago,” China expert Robert Suettinger told me during our recent interview. Earlier this year, Xi purged two top generals from the CCP’s military brass, following on the heels of earlier purges last year. Now only two of the originally seven members of the Central Military Commission remain. One of them is Xi himself; the other one, General Zhang Shengmin, is a political commander and has, like Xi, no combat experience. After the January purges, Xi issued an order to the military demanding that everyone acknowledge him as the head of the military commission. “The silence from all those military commands has been deafening and has been noticed by everybody,” Suettinger says. “The military is just sort of sitting back and saying, ‘Well, what are you going to do next?’… There's a level of distrust on both sides,” Suettinger told me. Suettinger believes that Xi’s many purges resulted in unifying opposition against him not only in the military but also in the Communist Party. “Xi is hated by almost everybody in China,” he said.

“Even if you follow Xi Jinping, you still will be purged. So the hidden rule is broken. I think that will be the end of the whole system,” says China analyst Heng He. With the recent purges of two top military generals, Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli, five of the seven members of China’s Central Military Commission have effectively been purged or removed. Only two remain, one of which is Xi Jinping himself. Zhang Youxia is known to have been a longtime ally of Xi Jinping, but was purged nonetheless. The CCP, like a mafia, is governed by unwritten rules. Now, Xi Jinping has broken all the CCP’s hidden rules, He says. “Now nobody knows whom to trust,” and that’s a big problem for the CCP. Xi has essentially purged the two remaining generals with actual battlefield experience. The Chinese military, Heng explains, is different from armed forces in the rest of the world. It’s ruled by the Chinese Communist Party and its primary function has been to protect the Communist Party—not to fight wars overseas. The CCP’s leaders, he explains, depend on the protection of the military, but at the same time they do not trust the military: “They are afraid that they will turn the gun to the wrong side.” But, in order to conquer Taiwan which, Heng tells me, is Xi’s lifelong dream, the generals must be put in full control: “Xi Jinping cannot fight himself, right? He has to give the command to the military leaders. That means the military has the power to turn the gun backwards.” With the removal of General Zhang Youxia—who appears to have opposed Xi Jinping’s views on an invasion of Taiwan—Xi removed an obstacle - but at what price? “The chain of command in the military is totally broken…This never happened in the history of communist rule,” he said.

🚨🇨🇳 INTERVIEW: “XI HAS LOST CONTROL OF THE MILITARY - POWER IS SHIFTING TO ZHANG YOUXIA” “The military commander would still have the final say, but in a regular sort of setting, usually the political commissar is the one that's more in control. The PLA is not the Chinese military, it is the People's Liberation Army, which is the CCP's military. My current belief is that Xi Jinping's situation is that he has lost the control of the military and that people who are against Xi are clawing back power through Zhang Youxia.”

This Is Worse Than Stalin: Xi’s Self-Inflicted Military Collapse. Why Xi Is Purging His Own Generals — And What It Means for Taiwan. Xi Jinping personally built the Central Military Commission in 2022. Just three years later, it has collapsed. In this video, I explain why Xi is purging the very generals he hand-picked — and why this is not preparation for war against Taiwan, but preparation for his own political survival. Using hard numbers and historical comparisons to Stalin’s Great Purge, I show how fear has replaced initiative inside the PLA — turning it into a hollow force that looks strong on parade but cannot fight a real war.

One name still haunts China’s military: Liu Yazhou. Once one of the PLA’s most influential generals and a leading military thinker, Liu warned that a war over Taiwan would end in disaster. He questioned Xi Jinping’s ability to command such a war and exposed how defeat destroys morale inside the PLA. For that, he was erased. Watch the full video here:

China’s Military Just Got Exposed In Venezuela and Iran -- Xi Is Panicking. Here is Why China Is Deleting Its Top Military Scientists. China just erased the chief designer of the J-20, along with top scientists in nuclear, missile, and radar programs. This isn’t random. It’s a system-wide purge. In this video, I break down what’s really happening inside the PLA: a massive political cleanup and, more importantly, a full inventory check to answer one terrifying question: do China’s weapons actually work? After decades of corruption, inflated specs, and zero real combat testing, the gap between paper strength and battlefield reality may be far bigger than anyone expected.

$2026.1.25 Xi Jinping moved against his closest ally, detaining Gen. Zhang Youxia, the vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, and PLA chief Liu Zhenli. Zhang was the keystone of Xi’s control over the military, bound by decades of personal and generational loyalty. The fallout is seismic. Beneath official “corruption” claims lies something far more significant: betrayal. Elite cohesion is fracturing, and panic and paranoia are spreading quickly through command chains as Xi shifts from governing to pure regime survival, deploying his personal security apparatus across multiple military regions.$

China’s Military Just Lost Its Last Real Generals and PLA"s Military Command Is Imploding in Real Time. How I Knew China’s Top General Was Finished — Before the CCP Admitted It. And Why the Taiwan Strait Just Got Safer. Days ago, I asked a simple question: Where is Zhang Youxia? I was mocked as a rumor-monger. Today, Beijing confirmed it: China’s top general is finished. This video breaks down how the disappearance of Zhang Youxia signaled a political earthquake inside the PLA, why Xi Jinping’s latest purge has hollowed out China’s military command, and why this internal chaos actually makes a Taiwan war less likely in the near term. This isn’t about coups or speculation. It’s about how power really works in authoritarian systems.

Another 2 Top Ranking Military leaders down. He didn’t conquer enemies abroad. He dismantled power from within. Xi Jin Ping, over 160 generals and scores of communist party elites are taken out, and no one dares to question him. To keep the score, that is more than Sino Japanese war, Chinese Civil War and the Korean War combined. Maybe he is Taiwan’s greatest asset.

The U.S. and China are in a new era of confrontation, and their relationship helps determine the prices that we pay, the apps we use and the future of our alliances. Kurt Campbell is the chairman and co-founder of The Asia Group and a former U.S. deputy secretary of state. Campbell spoke with Compass Points host Nick Schifrin about the future of the two nations’ relationship. The two also discussed Chinese leader Xi Jinping’s motivations for purging his most senior military officials, including the firing of the highest-ranking officer in China’s military, General Zhang Youxia. “We know very little about the inner workings of how President Xi and the party makes decisions on really anything at the very top, but particularly military affairs,” Campbell told Schifrin. Xi may have made the moves to weed out corruption or ineffective leadership. But, another theory, Campbell suggested, is that there could be political motivations. “I think there is a view that President Xi doesn't want any personalities or groups that are larger than him," he said. Compass Points from PBS News analyzes prominent international affairs topics and America’s role in a shifting world, breaking down global conflicts, rising tensions, and their implications for U.S. interests.
