China Removes Top Generals Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli from Central Military Commission
China has removed former top generals Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli from the Central Military Commission following investigations into alleged serious violations of law and discipline. The National People's Congress decided to strip Zhang of his vice chairman position, while Liu also lost his commission role. These actions are part of President Xi Jinping's ongoing anti-corruption campaign, significantly reducing the commission's known membership to just Xi and one other official. Details about the accusations and the generals' current status remain undisclosed.
