[People News] The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has recently disclosed for the first time the reasons behind the long-term disappearance of nine senior military leaders, including five generals, citing "suspected serious violations of discipline and law." These generals encompass commanders and political commissars from the army, navy, air force, and information support units. Netizens have derisively referred to CCP leader Xi Jinping as the "great butcher."
On April 17, the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (NPC) released its second bulletin of the year, which for the first time included details in the "Report on the Qualifications of Individual Representatives." This report revealed that General Li Qiaoming, the former commander of the army, General Shen Jinlong, the former commander of the navy, General Qin Shengxiang, the former political commissar of the navy, General Yu Zhongfu, the former political commissar of the air force, and General Li Wei, the former political commissar of the information support troops, were all dismissed from their NPC representative positions in February this year due to "suspected serious violations of discipline and law."
Additionally, other senior military leaders dismissed from their NPC roles in February include Major General Wang Donghai, political commissar of the Defense Mobilization Department of the Central Military Commission, General Bian Ruifeng, assistant director of the Political Work Department of the Central Military Commission, Major General Ding Laifu, commander of the 73rd Group Army, and Major General Yang Guang, commander of the 64th Base of the Rocket Force. They too are accused of "suspected serious violations of discipline and law."
The report further disclosed that Zhou Xinmin, the former chairman of the Aviation Industry Corporation of China, Luo Qi, the former chief engineer of the China National Nuclear Corporation, and Liu Cangli, the former president of the China Academy of Engineering Physics, were dismissed from their NPC representative positions in February this year due to "suspected violations of discipline and law."
According to reports from New Tang Dynasty, the disappearance of a group of senior generals from the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) had already drawn external attention several months ago, with news of their downfall circulating on various overseas social media accounts. The CCP only officially announced the reasons for these generals' disappearance several months later, reigniting public debate.
On the overseas Chinese platform X, some netizens remarked, 'In a dictatorial and corrupt regime, no one can remain untainted; it has rotted to the core.'
Others mocked Xi Jinping, referring to him as the 'Great Decapitator.' This new 'title' reflects the external perception of him following his internal purges.
Since Xi Jinping assumed power, his rapid leftward policy shift has led to a significant decline in China's economy and escalating public discontent, resulting in an increasing number of nicknames for him. For instance: 'Xi Baozi' (mocking his public appearance at a bun shop), 'General Accelerator' (satirizing his policies that hasten China's decline), 'Emperor of Half-Finished Projects' (mocking the many unfinished projects), 'Zero-COVID Emperor' (mocking his zero-COVID policy), and 'Elementary School Doctor' (mocking his educational background), among others.
Additional nicknames include: 'Big Money Sprayer,' 'Wheat Bearer,' 'Two Hundred Jin,' and 'Xi the Supreme,' etc.
In February of this year, Yuan Hongbing, a legal scholar based in Australia and familiar with the inner workings of the CCP, disclosed to the foreign media outlet 'Look China' that Xi Jinping has acquired a new nickname in Beijing's political circles: 'General Slayer.' This implies that Xi Jinping is viewed as the executioner of the CCP generals.
According to incomplete statistics, since Xi took office, 81 generals have been promoted, but 66 have been purged, 57 of whom were personally promoted by him.
Independent commentator Cai Shenkun recently analysed on the X platform that the scale of this purge is unprecedented in the history of the Chinese Communist Party's military. This approach of promoting and withdrawing simultaneously, essentially starting over, represents a violent dismantling of the military's original power structure. As a result, being a general has become a high-risk profession, and the professional dignity of military leaders, along with their trust in the system, has suffered a devastating blow, the repercussions of which may be incalculable in future conflicts.
In discussing the large-scale purge initiated by Xi Jinping, Yuan Hongbing cited sources within the CCP, stating: 'The root cause lies in a psychological demon of Xi Jinping; he has succumbed to a paranoid delusion.'
Yuan Hongbing further remarked that what currently terrifies Xi Jinping the most is that those around him, including his close aides and confidants, are actually two-faced. While they outwardly flatter him, they privately mock and disdain him, employing every possible means to do so. It is foreseeable that once this round of purging concludes and the leadership structure of the CCP's armed forces is reestablished, it won't be long before new major scandals emerge, leading to yet another round of even more brutal military purges. △
