From Combat-Capable Generals to Applauding Eunuchs: Xi Personally Destroyed the Army | Digging into China

In this video, we explore the stunning fall of Central Military Commission Vice Chairman 张又侠—once Xi Jinping’s most trusted military figure and the last general with real combat experience. His purge signals that Xi has now eliminated the final buffer layer between himself and the PLA’s vast bureaucracy.

Drawing a chilling parallel to the end of the Ming dynasty, the script compares today’s escalating purges—from the Rocket Force to equipment procurement, political-work officials, and now frontline commanders—to Emperor Chongzhen’s fatal paranoia. Chongzhen executed his last capable general, Lu Xiangsheng, fearing military power more than defeat; five years later, he died alone as rebels stormed Beijing.

Xi’s relentless cleansing creates the same death loop: to feel secure, he removes competent people, making the regime even more vulnerable. The result? An army of politically safe “eunuchs” who prioritize avoiding mistakes over winning battles. Garbage time has arrived—and the system is brittle.
