But how do you know it’s not an anti-corruption sweep? Corrupt leaders deserve to be disappeared forever. Just like it should also happen to billionaires.
I mean, that’s a pretty hard shift in the defense of your assertion.
You lead off strong with “I think it’s XYZ”, with no support, then when that’s challenged, you’re restating it in the framework of “you need to prove it’s not XYZ”.
Might as well have said the purge is because these guys liked raspberry donuts and Xi hates that flavor. Good luck proving that negative.
It’s a fight against challenges to his power first and foremost.
That is what corruption is. He grew out of the princelings and has to tactically fight them so he isn’t overthrown himself.
I guess the 8 generals who are missing just went on a holiday together then?
Xi is not a stand-up dude trying to right all that’s wrong in China.
I’m not claiming that Xi is some hero.

China has more billionaires than the US and they don’t care about those either
It can’t be anti-corruption because Xi is more corrupt than all of them.
I’m not familiar with the matter, but from the little i’ve learned of the article, it seems the general have just disappeared, right?
If it was corruption matters, that would be official, as it would be a good reason for a trial.
It’s common for people to be disappeared or disappear for a time for re-education. That’s what happened to Jack Ma when he stepped out of line.
