Tibetan government-in-exile President Penpa Tsering has claimed that China is facing signs of serious internal strain, pointing to sweeping purges inside the People's Liberation Army as evidence of a deeper power struggle under President Xi Jinping.
In an interview with NDTV, Tsering said Xi had removed "more than 110 military generals" since taking control of the Communist Party, officially in the name of anti-corruption. But, he argued, the campaign was also aimed at eliminating political opponents and reflected instability within the Chinese system.
"The military is the backbone of the Communist Party," Tsering said, adding that repeated purges in the armed forces pointed towards a "power struggle" and "symptoms of a bigger malaise" inside China's leadership structure.
