China's Military Purges Senior Officials Amidst Ongoing Crackdown

China's military is undergoing a big shake-up.

Several high-ranking officials, including a senior general, a naval chief, and a nuclear scientist, have been removed from their positions.

The general, Miao Hua, was also taken off the Central Military Commission, which is like the top boss of the military.

These removals are part of a larger effort to get rid of corruption and enforce strict rules within the armed forces.

China's leader, Xi Jinping, is making sure that the military is loyal to the Communist Party.

This is happening as China aims to become a major military power.
