Alarm signals: what will lead to total "cleaning" in the China army - experts' forecast
According to Western experts, in the fastest growing army of the world is something alarming, although it is the cause of it, it is still unclear. The consequences of staffing "purges" in the ranks of the NVAK are written by Breaking Defense. The Chinese military expert from the London International Institute for Strategic Studies, Maya Nouvence, noted that the Chinese military spoke about "cleaning" after two ministers and three high -ranking generals were charged with corruption.
In this case, Beijing often uses such official wording when he wants to shift any officials. Recently, such high -ranking persons have been "lost" in China: at the same time, the Japanese edition of Nikkei Asia writes that the number of NVAK officials who came under repression may be greater, but the reason why these officials have fallen under investigation are not corruption, but espionage and leakage of information.
"Whatever it was, it had to be serious enough for Si Jinping to decide to take steps against trusted persons, whom he had recently increased to their current positions," Nouvence said. Especially experts note the situation in the missile troops of the PRC, as China has grown significantly in terms of nuclear forces. The Senior Advisor to the Chinese US Peace Institute Program Dean Cheng believes that the increase in nuclear resources has led to the management of missile troops became "arrogant".
However, the most likely cause of staffing in the NVAK is preparation for major armed conflict. "These are clearing the decks, providing the presence on board of higher military officers to prepare for a major conflict. There may be an invasion of Taiwan or open hostilities against, say, Philippines or Vietnam in the South Chinese Sea," Cenng summed up. Earlier it was reported that Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about a potential conflict with the United States.
