Scholars see short-term dip in war risk after Xi Jinping purges top general
Posted on 2026-01-31 11:55:13
Scholars say recent leadership purges in China's military could lower
major-war risk in the short term.

China's defense ministry says vice CMC chairman Zhang Youxia and senior
officer Liu Zhenli are under investigation for "serious discipline and law
violations."

Political scientist Kou Chien-wen at National Chengchi University says key
posts still need to be filled, and that may take time.

Defense researcher Chieh Chung says the purge is unlikely to raise the chance
of an invasion in 2027.

He says Beijing still prefers "peaceful unification," but Taiwan should stay
alert if tensions rise.

Professor Ma Chen-kun says the purge adds uncertainty over which generals Xi
Jinping will trust for advice.
