China Pla Army Xi Jinping Big Game Plan: China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has recently seen many major changes. Many senior military officers have been arrested as part of a campaign to end corruption led by President Xi Jinping, but the move has raised questions whether it is only an anti -corruption campaign or part of the power struggle?
According to reports, Vice President O Vicidant of Central Military Commission (CMC) has been arrested. Apart from this, many generals associated with Jhao Keshi and Fuzian faction have been detained. This incident has created a situation of turmoil in the top leadership of PLA. It is believed that Xi Jinping is taking strict steps to end his opponents inside the army.
Corruption or power struggle?
Corruption has been a problem in the Chinese army for a long time, but in recent times, action is being taken on this issue rapidly. The military officers who have been arrested were playing an important role in the supervision of army logistics management and military resources. In such a situation, the question arises whether it is just action against corruption or is Xi Jinping trying to further strengthen their hold on power?
Fuzian faction and hold on power
Several arrested officers are associated with the Fuzian faction, who has been a stronghold of Xi Jinping for a long time. Now targeting the officials of his group shows that Jinping does not want to tolerate any kind of opposition in the power struggle. Several other officials, including the deputy commander of the Western Theater Command, are also being investigated, which makes it clear that dissatisfaction is also increasing inside the army.
New threat to Xi Jinping?
Experts believe that the power struggle is going on within the PLA, and Xi Jinping is preparing a new group by ending his opponents, which is completely under their control. For this, they can form military leadership renewed.
Political impact of turmoil in PLA
This military reshuffle can be important for China not only at the military level, but also at the political level. There is an opportunity for Xi Jinping that they can further strengthen their power, but this can also increase internal dissatisfaction. In the coming days, the dismissal or arrest of military officers can be seen on a large scale.
