China's top general ousted, placed under investigation in latest military purge
AI Summary
China's top general, Zhang Youxia, is under investigation for alleged violations of party discipline and state laws, marking the latest military purge under President Xi Jinping. Zhang, a vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission, is second only to Xi in military authority. Another member of the commission, Liu Zhenli, is also being investigated. These removals follow the replacement of another vice chair in October. The staff changes come after the Trump administration released a new National Defense Strategy shifting U.S. focus toward dominance in the Western Hemisphere, aiming for a peaceful relationship with China. The strategy also emphasizes the need for U.S. allies to contribute more to their own defense.
