The video examines Xi Jinping’s decade-long military reforms and power struggles, tracing the evolution from Deng Xiaoping’s “military business” era to the present. It covers key events such as the 2015 9/3 parade, the 2016 overhaul that cut 30,000 troops and reorganized the seven theater commands into five, the creation of the 15-branch Central Military Commission, and the rapid development of naval and missile forces. The narrative also discusses the purges of senior generals Xu Caihou and Guo Boxiong, the 2014 Guantian political work meeting, and the 2023‑24 anti‑corruption “second season” that targeted the missile forces and other branches. It questions whether the consolidation of power has truly improved combat capability and integrity, and whether the cycle of corruption, discipline, and re‑corruption can be broken.
