Looks like they are purging disloyal element in preparation for fielding their army.

Is this a periodic purge of chronic corruption or ideological purification preliminary to invasion?

Do the Chinese “accidentally” fall out of windows like the Russians?

[null and void]

I think they "accidentally" donate their organs.

ALWAYS read the small print on the contract...

An hour later, he disappeared again.

What a country! What a nightmare!

Winnie the Pooh has been purging people for several years for corruption. How many are actually corrupt, versus how many are a perceived threat to Xi, is a matter of conjecture…

“An hour later, he disappeared again.”

…lol!!

[PIF]

Corruption is systemic throughout Chinese culture and government - rooting one out, just makes room for another corrupt person to rise.

Maybe, but as Japan showed in the early 20th century.

If the military win’s —they can usurp the power of the emperor.

Its the logical extension of Mao’s dictum. Power comes from the gun.

The party rules as long as the gun is not used. But start using the gun for military expansion—then the gun holder hold power over the CCP.

I think that’s what this is about. But its pure speculation.

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

When news tells of missing generals and such, I regularly think back to what the Democrats did to our fine, upstanding General Flynn.

Keeps things in perspective.

only 43?

He’s a piker compared to Obama, who purged hundreds of military officers.
