Top Chinese General Sacked Over Corruption Allegations.

Yesterday, China’s most senior general, Zhang Youxia, was placed under investigation for “ suspected serious violations of discipline and law”.  China’s military has fired many high-ranking generals over the years due to corruption. According to a report in The Guardian, Youxia allegedly leaked classified information about China’s nuclear program to intelligence sources in the U.S, as well as taking bribes. According to a Reuters report, Youxia’s ouster raises questions about a depleted military leadership in China at present. It is unclear what will happen next, but it is clear that Xi is not stopping his anti-corruption crusade anytime soon.
