Following the arrest of top military officials from China’s Rocket Force, many key officials in linked sectors have also been arrested, according to sources close to the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) top circle.

Yuan Hongbing, a former professor of law at Peking University who now lives in exile in Australia, learned from his connections in China that following the purge of the Rocket Force military leaders, the military research institutes, military industrial enterprises, strategic support forces, and military procurement departments are also undergoing a major overhaul.
