这则报道揭示了习近平在中国军队进行的悄然变革。对高层军官的突然解职表明了习近平在军队内部进行的深刻调整。这种安排可能是为了巩固他在权力层面的地位，加强对军队的直接掌控，以确保其治理理念的贯彻执行。报道未明确透露变动的具体原因，这可能是为了维护军队形象，或者涉及到更深层次的政治权谋。习近平的安排在国际关注中引发猜测，将对中国军事战略和地区稳定产生潜在影响。这一静悄悄的军事动作可能是中国政治舞台上一个不可忽视的信号，需要我们密切关注其未来走向。
The expelled officials included some of the brightest rising stars in President Xi Jinping’s military: two generals who oversaw satellite launches and manned space missions; an admiral who helped entrench Beijing’s presence in the disputed South China Sea; and a missile commander who had honed China’s ability to respond to a possible nuclear war.
They were among nine high-ranking Chinese military figures who were recently removed as delegates to the country’s Communist Party-run legislature, abruptly and without official explanation.
Experts say the move indicates that Mr. Xi’s latest offensive to root out alleged corruption and other misconduct in the People’s Liberation Army, or P.L.A., has been gaining momentum and is focused on the politically sensitive agencies responsible for developing weapons and military installations. In October, China suddenly dismissed the defense minister, who had worked for years in the military’s arms acquisition system. Months earlier, two commanders of the Rocket Force, which controls China’s nuclear missiles, were replaced.
Since coming to power in 2012, Mr. Xi has launched scorching, high-decibel crackdowns on Communist Party officials and generals. This latest campaign in the military, however, has been conducted mostly in the quiet, with no official acknowledgment that it is even underway.
