China purges top army brass after US intel revealed they'd filled missiles with WATER instead of fuel and had a huge silo bunker with the wrong lids due to military corruption
2024-01-09
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The communist country's top lawmakers ousted nine senior military officers from the national legislative body on Friday

  • Many of these were from the Rocket Force - a key arm of the Chinese army overseeing tactical and nuclear missiles

  • News comes days after a startling New Years' message from ruler Xi Jingping, who warned that 'all Chinese on both sides of the Taiwan Strait' will be 'reunified'

#3  Or a head-fake trigger move to inflate the damage on the PLA by their own investigation?
