Chinese dictator Xi Jingping’s goons have put Central Military Commission Vice Chair Zhang Youxia under investigation for some kind of misconduct that was either made up or real but ignored until now, a move that the AP reports is the latest in a series of purges of the People’s Liberation Army’s top leadership who’ve been suspected of disloyalty to Xinnie the Pooh, chair of the commission.
Another member of the commission, Liu Zhenli, was also placed under investigation for who the hell knows what pretext. General Zhang would be the equivalent of Pete Hegseth in rank but the commission itself is ostensibly a power structure separate from Xi’s direct command, so Xi putting him and Liu under investigation is more like the bullshit attempts to prosecute Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and Board of Governors member Lisa Cook – except more effective and without checks.
