Liu Zhenli

Liu Zhenli is a high-ranking general in China's People's Liberation Army (PLA). He has recently become newsworthy due to being placed under investigation for "serious violations of discipline and law," a euphemism for corruption. This investigation is part of a broader anti-corruption campaign and military purge led by Xi Jinping. The purge also includes the investigation of General Zhang Youxia, the highest-ranking general, and others. These investigations are seen as potentially impacting the PLA's command structure and its ability to execute military objectives, including potential actions related to Taiwan. The removal of top generals raises questions about power struggles within the PLA and the overall stability and effectiveness of China's military leadership.
