The upcoming plenary session of the Communist Party's top decision-making body will adopt a decision on advancing strict governance, seen as a move to ensure loyalty ahead of the Party Congress. The meeting, whose location has not been announced, follows a series of high-level purges, with 'moral corruption' used as a basis to remove perceived disloyalists. Of 44 military members appointed to the Central Committee in 2022, only two remain, and the powerful Central Military Commission has been reduced to just Xi Jinping and one other general.
