China's Military Purge Linked to Water-Filled Missiles

A recent report suggests that corruption within China's military, particularly the People's Liberation Army Rocket Force (PLARF), has led to significant issues, including missiles filled with water instead of fuel and malfunctioning silo lids. These problems have reportedly raised concerns about the readiness and modernization efforts of China's armed forces, as well as President Xi Jinping's confidence in their capabilities. The purge of top PLARF officials and other senior figures indicates a serious impact on decision-making and raises questions about the true nature of these developments. The extent of corruption within the PLA and its implications for China's military modernization and nuclear arsenal remain subjects of concern and scrutiny.
