General He Weidong, a powerful military figure, has been purged from China's top leadership, marking the third uniformed Central Military Commission (CMC) vice chairman removed since the mid-2000s. This comes amid a broader upheaval within the CMC, with nearly half of the PLA's top leadership having vanished or been dismissed in under three years. The purge reflects President Xi Jinping's drive to eliminate dissent, tighten discipline, and maintain total party control over the military.
