China removes powerful General Zhang Youxia from Chinese military leadership

SAPO Notícias28 August 2026 at 13:34

Chinese authorities removed General Zhang Youxia from the position of Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), thus removing him from the country's military leadership. The decision was announced by state media.

Zhang Youxia was removed months after an investigation for alleged corruption against the general was announced. This case is part of a broad anti-corruption campaign that has affected the Chinese Armed Forces in recent years.

The removal of Zhang Youxia represents one of the most significant changes in China's recent military leadership. The general held a highly influential position in the country's military hierarchy.

Chinese state media reported this decision, which comes in a context of restructuring of the armed forces under the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party.
