China’s Military Scandal
According to reporting by Bloomberg, China is experiencing a massive military scandal due to internal corruption, which could be, on a similar scale, to the corruption affecting the Russian Federation’s military for its disastrous invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
In the case of the Russians, they didn’t have enough fuel and equipment to invade the nation of Ukraine, which meant its military, which invaded northern Ukraine, had to withdraw from the outskirts of Kyiv back into the puppet state of Belarus.
Now, the Chinese are experiencing the same issues.
Which means China can’t wage war either on the offensive or defensive, and if it finds itself in a war, it would be unable to fight at least straight away.
The current president, Xi Jinping, has been fighting an anti-corruption campaign within Chinese government institutions since he came to power in 2013. Xi Jinping has targeted all of the other institutions in China.
Now, President Xi is targeting the military, which could be why this massive military scandal has been brought to light.
Suppose the leader of communist China had made his moves straightaway targeting the military.
In that case, it is possible that President Xi would have been forcefully removed by the Chinese Liberation Army.
