Probes into Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli decapitate China’s top command. We weigh official graft claims against rumors of failed coups and leaked nuclear secrets.
Removing two top leaders of the Chinese Armed Forces does not necessarily mean that there will be huge effects on the lower echelons as well as the rank-and-file. Remember, we are talking about only 2 senior officers.
This is not the same as Stalin's purges of the Soviet armed Forces during the 1930s where thousands of officers of all levels and ranks were removed, with many of them being executed. This factor alone made the Soviet Armed Forces fr less prepared for the German invasion in 1941.
However, even here some historians argue that Stalin's officer purges actually made the Soviet Armed Forces a much better fighting force. Yet, this is doubtful considering that so many officer echelons were affected. And we cannot assume that all these officers were of poor quality.
In respected documentation of the Soviet Armed Forces of WWII (ie: "Stalin's War" by Sean McMeekin, OSS\CIA German officer Soviet capabilities analysis) it is clearly shown that the Soviet Armed Forces suffered from a variety of maladies during the war, and which were present up to its conclusion, making the Soviet victory one of logistics and not military acumen.
I see. Nonetheless, 6 senior members of such a huge military shouldn't be that traumatic to the overall organization.
However, if the new replacements begin a process of new surveillance of their lower ranking officers, as a result of the possible corruption of these senior military leaders , this would become rather problematic for the entire organization.
By the way, I meant to ask you if you knew of any information that would be useful to individual states in the US, which could guide them to develop state economic policy that would put them in line with BRICS' tenets and standards?
I know that Alaska is already in the process of doing this and sent the article (which I believe came from this site) to my governor of the State of New York.
The Chinese government is simply doing their job. They investigated themselves and found some bad apples. The high ranking of these offices proved to the world that the CPC is serious about their anti-corruption campaign that noone cannot be touch. Something you would never seen in the EU or US government (hint Epstein files).
Do any of us really know anything about this process, how it really works, how long investigations have been on-going, etc? Do we have any idea of infiltration of CIA, MOSSAD, MI6 into the upper echelons? Can we doubt such activities occur? Why don't we let the Chinese run their system without our half-baked ideas? Why don't we wait for what they have to say, if anything?
Andrew: I think your sources are playing the game straight out of the US/UK /Israeli intelligence security network playbook - they are trying to sew doubt and fear into Western minds rather than offer factual investigative criticism to the World at large. We have already endured the "China, Russia, Iran are bad, USA, UK, Israel are good" mantra long enough, this just the next phase of propaganda. Some rearrangement of the seating arrangements at the captains table happens everywhere all the time. The game goes on. Such is life.

good points, but these are only the last two of four other high-ranking military leaders removed (on a total of 6)

Thank you...

Is Think BRICS getting infiltrated? This sounds more like western propaganda than serious analysis.
