Xi Jinping’s ongoing campaign to enforce loyalty and discipline within the People’s Liberation Army and Chinese Communist Party elite continues to shape expectations for 2026 outcomes. The most recent major development occurred in January 2026 when the Ministry of National Defense announced investigations into senior vice chairman of the Central Military Commission Zhang Youxia and Joint Staff Department chief Liu Zhenli for serious violations of party discipline and law, extending a wave that has removed more than 100 senior PLA officers since 2022 and left the CMC with only Xi and Zhang Shengmin as military members. Additional expulsions of generals occurred around the March 2026 Two Sessions. These actions, presented as anti-corruption measures, coincide with preparations for the 21st Party Congress in 2027 and reflect Xi’s emphasis on personal control over institutional networks in both military and civilian ranks.
