Xi's military purge widens: China strips six generals, ex-Politburo member of lawmaker posts

China's National People's Congress (NPC) removed six senior military officers, former financial regulator Li Yunze, and former Politburo member Ma Xingrui from their positions as lawmakers. The removals follow Xi Jinping's years-long anti-corruption campaign, which has led to the investigation, removal, and purge of numerous officials. The move underscores Xi's continued tightening grip on the military and political establishment.
