Jinping does not trust his officials…expert
Former CIA analyst Christopher Johnson says Xi Jinping was wrong to appoint Wei Fenghe as defense minister in 2018. The Rocket Force chief was directly named defense minister. While he was going to be named general of the army. Dong Jun has been a sailor. It took Xi Jinping four months to find them. Jinping had then assured that the army would remain free of corruption. But Jinping is now surprised that there is corruption in every corner of the military.
Jinping had also eliminated Qin Gang. He was the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Qin had an extramarital affair with a Chinese woman living in the United States. Christopher says this Jinping-led investigation shows he doesn’t trust his military officers.
