On January 24, the Chinese government announced news that shocked all sectors.

Zhang Youxia, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission, and Liu Zhenli, member of the Central Military Commission, are currently under investigation for serious disciplinary and legal violations.

This news quickly became the focus of international media attention.

Zhang Youxia, 75 years old this year, is not only a highly ranked general in the military but is also believed to have deep family ties with the top leadership.

Liu Zhenli is the core figure responsible for combat command.

In the past year, several high-ranking officials in the Chinese military have consecutively left their posts, including two defense ministers and multiple senior generals.

Such frequent personnel changes are very rare in modern Chinese history.

There are very different interpretations from various sides regarding this large-scale investigation.

The Chinese authorities emphasize that this is to eliminate corruption within the military, especially serious problems in weapons procurement, aiming to build a cleaner and stronger military.

However, many international observers and experts have different views.

They believe this may reflect political instability within the military or be the result of high-level power adjustments.

Currently, the number of members in China's top military command has significantly decreased.

This unprecedented situation has caused external concerns about the modernization process and management efficiency of the Chinese military.

Although the authorities say they will continue to promote the strengthening of the military, the frequent changes have indeed brought great pressure and uncertainty within the military.

This event is not only an anti-corruption action but also shows the complex relationship between power and trust in China's top-level politics to the outside world.

Who will fill these important vacancies and the future direction of the military will be important topics for the international community to discuss in the coming period.
