China's PLA in Turmoil? China's Defence Minister Is "Under Investigation" | Vantage with Palki Sharma

China’s Defence Minister Admiral Dong Jun is under investigation for corruption, marking the third consecutive defence minister to face such charges. President Xi Jinping’s anticorruption campaign in the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) has already removed Dong’s predecessors, General Li Shangfu and Wei Fenghe, from their roles. These developments highlight deeper concerns about corruption in China’s military, raising doubts about its capability to achieve Xi’s goal of being ready to invade Taiwan by 2027. Dong’s refusal to meet US Secretary Lloyd Austin at a recent Laos defence meeting further underscores the strained USChina military ties. What does this mean for the PLA and Xi’s leadership?
