"Corruption Scandal: China's Military Purge Linked to Water-Filled Missiles, US Intel Reveals"

US intelligence reports reveal concerns about corruption within China's Rocket Force, including instances of missiles being filled with water instead of fuel and defective missile silos. The recent dismissal of high-ranking military officials is linked to pervasive corruption within the People’s Liberation Army, raising doubts about the PLA's overall capabilities and undermining President Xi Jinping's military modernization efforts. Further dismissals are predicted, particularly within the Rocket Force, posing unprecedented challenges for China's national security and military readiness.

China, which claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, began three days of military exercises around the island on Saturday, the day after Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen returned from a brief visit to the United States.
