China Expands Military Purge with Senior Admiral Investigation
TL;DR Summary
China has suspended Admiral Miao Hua, a top military official, for corruption as part of President Xi Jinping's ongoing purge of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) leadership. Miao, a member of the Central Military Commission and seen as an ally of Xi, is under investigation for "serious violation of discipline." This move follows the reported investigation of Defense Minister Dong Jun, which the Defense Ministry denies. Xi's anti-corruption campaign has already led to the removal of several senior generals, aiming to strengthen and modernize China's military.
