On this Special Report, the focus is on the internal crisis within China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) as President Xi Jinping continues a massive purge of top military officials. Lieutenant General (Retd) S.L. Narasimhan observes that while hundreds of generals have been sacked over the last decade, the removal of General Zhang Youxia is significant due to his long-standing personal ties with Xi. Narasimhan states, ‘I think he has strengthened his position by doing all this,’ suggesting the anti-corruption drive also serves to eliminate opposition. Journalist Sandeep Unnithan highlights the impact of corruption on China’s fighting capability, noting that allegations of leaking nuclear secrets and systemic graft within the rocket force raise questions about the PLA’s readiness for high-intensity combat. The discussion explores whether these internal disruptions, described as potential ‘PsyOps’ by the US, could adversely impact China’s 2027 military modernization goals and its stance on Taiwan.
