Chinese President Xi Jinping inspects the Central Military Commission leadership and the Joint Operations Command Center of the Communist Party in November 2022. Six of them, excluding current Vice Chairman Zhang Shengmin, have been purged starting with Li Shangfu in 2023 and recently including Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli.

this wave of purges has gone far beyond anti corruption and has reached the complete rebuilding of the PLA command core... the central military commission... which was formed with seven members in 2022... now officially has only two members left... xi jinping and zhang shengmin...discipline inspection vice chairman...
in a situation where the highest levels of operational and battle experienced command... including the last generals of the real-war generation... have been removed... who exactly is going to fill the vacuum?
will the new generation of commanders trade real combat capability for absolute loyalty? or will this continuous purge cycle turn the PLA into an institution that is completely obedient but significantly more fragile?

So far, China's role has been a big yawn. They just talk, never enter the real game.
