China removes powerful General Zhang Youxia from Chinese military leadership

RTP Notícias28 August 2026 at 15:10

Chinese authorities dismissed General Zhang Youxia from the position of vice-chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), weeks after an investigation for alleged corruption was announced. State media reported today the dismissal of the powerful general.

Zhang Youxia was considered one of the most influential figures in the Chinese army, with a long military career. His removal occurs in a context of purge within the country's armed forces.

The investigation for alleged corruption that led to his dismissal was announced months earlier, signaling an intensification of the fight against corruption in the ranks of the Chinese military.

This decision represents one of the most significant changes in China's military leadership in recent times, affecting one of the top positions of the country's armed forces.

Flavio tries to approach Faria Lima at dinner, but lack of robust proposals generates distrust among businessmen

Presidential candidate Flavio Bolsonaro (PL) attended another dinner with bankers and businessmen from Faria Lima in an attempt to convince the sector that his candidacy is viable, but repeated the impression from previous meetings by not presenting a robust government program with concrete proposals to cut spending, curb the growth of public debt, and address problems in areas such as security and education. The candidate's image was tarnished after the disclosure of conversations where he asked banker Daniel Vorcaro from Banco Master for money to finance the film "Dark Horse," pushing him even further away from a sector that already preferred Governor Tarcisio de Freitas (Republicanos) to face Lula (PT) in the presidential election.
