China Purges Nine More Military Officers and Ten Legislators Ahead of Annual Congress

[Breitbart] China’s rubber-stamp legislature, the National People’s Congress, abruptly dismissed 19 of its deputies Thursday afternoon without explanation, including nine military officers. The move came after dictator Xi Jinping purged a series of high-ranking People’s Liberation Army (PLA) leaders, and only a week before the annual meeting of the Chinese legislature in Beijing.

Thursday’s removals were announced by the Standing Committee of the National People’s Congress (NPC), China’s top legislative authority. Among the deputies dismissed were Li Qiaoming, commander of PLA Ground Forces, and former People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) commander Shen Jinlong.

The military deputies included five full generals, three major generals, and a lieutenant general – namely Wang Donghai, political commissar of the National Defense Mobilization Department.

Next week will see the “Two Sessions” held every year in Beijing – meetings of the NPC and the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, an advisory body that has even less actual authority than the NPC does.

Even though the NPC exists only to put a ceremonial stamp of approval on whatever Xi wants to do, the Two Sessions are considered a major event on China’s political calendar, with thousands of delegates flocking to Beijing to attend.

Xi made the surprising decision to purge his top general, Central Military Commission (CMC) vice chair Zhang Youxia, in late January. Zhang was second only to Xi himself in the chain of command, was a personal friend of Xi’s family, and was one of the few high-ranking Chinese officers to have practical combat experience.

The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in London published a report on Tuesday that found Xi’s aggressive purges of military officers have significantly compromised the readiness of the PLA. Xi has insisted the purges are necessary to root out corruption.

1 Brietbart is dumb, didn't expect this from them. China does have civics, Xi isn't a dictator. NPC isn't a rubber stamp, even in the Mao era they kicked him out of power but he always wormed his way back in.

2 What??? Of course Xi is a dictator. China is ruled by the totalitarian Chinese Communist Party (Maoist), with Chairman Xi as their top totalitarian. Like all totalitarian systems, there is push and pull behind the scenes until a tipping point is reached, at which point the purges begin.

6 The Chinese aren't Maoists any more. The last Maoists were Shining Path in Peru and they got crushed a few years back. There are some Maoists left in India I think. Naxalites?
Maoism is communism but instead of using educated urban industrial workers like Saint Marx said it's using illiterate rural peasants.
There are all sorts of commies. They have intra-commie purges and wars all the time. That's what the Cultural Revolution was: Mao's famous slogan that started the whole thing was "bombard the headquarters!" Since the headquarters was the army Mao recruited teenage Red Guards to fight them. Whole cities were wrecked in urban fighting like Stalingrad.
China invaded Vietnam because they were the wrong kind of commie. Vietnam overthrew Khmer Rouge Cambodia because they were the wrong kind of commie.
China and the USSR nearly got into a big shooting war over some islands in a river. The river shifted its course and both sides claimed the land that appeared.

8 It's not being a closet commie, it's being well-read.

9 more copy-paste as rebuttal. How...unexpected

10 Nah I wrote it. I copy-pasted it into a search engine to confirm and got this back.

11 I can accept that they aren’t proper Maoists anymore — though Neville Roy Singham who is underwriting the current Black Bloc protests is, successful capitalist though he was in his own life — but they are still totalitarians.

They’re still sealing residents into their apartment buildings to control disease from spreading, and there’s all that social credit nonsense that means if you aren’t compliant enough you can lose not just jobs and access to education but bank and bus access as well. It’s not as visible as the arrests during the Cultural Revolution, but it’s even more dangerous to anyone who dares express an independent thought.

12 There are Maoists still. You'll find them in American and Western academia.

13 When you can disappear your rivals and people that disagree with you that may not be a dictatorship, but it’s a distinction without a difference.

16 They're all wannabe Maoists. All communists, all over the world, would either be like Stalin or be like Mao if they could get away with it. That's because at heart they are all totalitarian assholes, murders and thieves without conscience. If Xi keeps going like he is, he'll get there.
