It’s Toonie Tuesday! 🪙 Be the Impact, That Stops Impact ✈️ This week we’re backing Kristina and the 2nd Battalion UAV anti Shahed team of the 112th Territorial Defense Brigade. They hunt Shaheds before they hit cities or where soldiers are concentrated. To keep intercepting fast, they urgently need a vehicle to move crews, drones, and gear where seconds decide everything.

A highly consequential PLA event that some noticed, but few fully appreciated its significance—largely overshadowed by developments in the Middle East. In my latest analysis for China Brief Notes @ChinaBriefJT at The Jamestown Foundation @JamestownTweets, I examine a key development on April 8, when PLA convened the first session of the training program for all senior officers (第一期全军高级干部培训班). This event stands out for several reasons. It suggests that the current wave of purges may be reaching a critical juncture—and that Xi Jinping may now be moving to reassess the remaining senior leadership within the PLA. jamestown.org/xi-signals-rea… Executive Summary: (1) Xi Jinping’s distrust of senior military cadres was on display on April 8, as he presided over the opening ceremony of the first session of a senior officer training program—the first time he has chaired this kind of event. (2) Xi’s remarks, which emphasized political theory and regulations, suggest that he will use the training program to evaluate whether his remaining generals are suitable for promotion or whether they require further investigation. (3) Large-scale promotions remain unlikely in the near term, and those in most key positions will likely continue to operate in an acting capacity for at least the next several months, given Xi’s lack of trust in senior cadres.
