Xi Jinping’s Grip on PLA: A Struggle for Power?
The People’s Liberation Army (PLA), the armed wing of China’s Communist Party (CCP), is reportedly resisting President Xi Jinping’s assertive control. Sources suggest a power struggle is brewing within the ranks.
This resistance stems from the PLA’s traditional influence and potential loss of personal benefits under Xi’s sweeping reforms. The PLA’s entrenched power structure is proving a significant hurdle for Xi’s ambitions.
Analysts suggest Xi’s drive for absolute authority within the CCP is facing unexpected resistance from within the military. This internal conflict holds significant implications for regional stability.
The ongoing tension within the PLA highlights the complexities of consolidating power in China. The situation warrants close monitoring, given its potential impact on India’s strategic calculations and regional security.
