One name still haunts China’s military: Liu Yazhou. Once one of the PLA’s most influential generals and a leading military thinker, Liu warned that a war over Taiwan would end in disaster. He questioned Xi Jinping’s ability to command such a war and exposed how defeat destroys morale inside the PLA. For that, he was erased. This program explains why Liu Yazhou was silenced, what his writings revealed about Taiwan, U.S. intervention, and Japan, and why fear of morale collapse — not battlefield defeat — is the PLA’s greatest weakness today.
