Xi ally Zhang Youxia expelled from PLA and CCP, faces trial in purge

Zhang Youxia, a former top ally of Xi Jinping, has been expelled from the Chinese military and Communist Party and will face trial, marking a significant escalation in Xi's purge of the PLA. The move signals a consolidation of Xi's control over the military and a potential shift in China's internal power dynamics. The trial's outcome and any further purges remain uncertain.
