This Is Worse Than Stalin: Xi’s Self-Inflicted Military Collapse. Why Xi Is Purging His Own Generals — And What It Means for Taiwan.
Xi Jinping personally built the Central Military Commission in 2022.
Just three years later, it has collapsed.
In this video, I explain why Xi is purging the very generals he hand-picked — and why this is not preparation for war against Taiwan, but preparation for his own political survival.
Using hard numbers and historical comparisons to Stalin’s Great Purge, I show how fear has replaced initiative inside the PLA — turning it into a hollow force that looks strong on parade but cannot fight a real war.

Xi Jinping just arrested his childhood best friend for selling nuclear secrets to America.
Zhang Youxia. Second most powerful man in China’s military. Their fathers fought together in Mao’s revolution.
Untouchable. Until Saturday.
The numbers:
6 generals appointed to the Central Military Commission in 2022.
All 6 gone.
29 of 44 uniformed officers purged.
“Total annihilation of the high command.”
— Christopher Johnson, former CIA analyst
The man who was supposed to lead China’s invasion of Taiwan is accused of nuclear treason.
Every general who planned the Taiwan operation is gone.
Xi just told every Chinese officer that childhood friendship and 60 years of service mean nothing.
This isn’t the military that invades Taiwan in 2027.
This is a system eating itself.
