Did Xi Jinping's Military Purge Leave Beijing Defenseless?

A tiny civilian plane reached the heart of Beijing and crashed into the city's tallest skyscraper. Why wasn't it stopped? Was China's air-defense system really powerless—or did Xi Jinping's military purge leave the PLA's command structure paralyzed? Drawing on analysis from former PLA personnel, military commentators, and Chinese insiders, this episode explores how one small aircraft may have exposed far deeper problems inside China's military than Beijing wants the world to see.
