WorldPLA Purge Escalates Again as Expert Says Xi’s Conquest of Taiwan Has Become a ‘Chinese Dream’

The program highlights Trump’s call for Iran’s leaders to face war-crimes trials and his description of Iran as a “failed state.” It also reports expanded U.S. sanctions on Iran, with Treasury Secretary Bessent urging G20 members to reconsider trade terms with China. A renewed purge of China’s military leadership reportedly removes Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli and brings down Xi aide Zhong Shaojun, which experts say could affect the PLA’s command chain and Taiwan combat capability. Taiwan’s next-generation Harpoon coastal-defense system reportedly passed U.S. testing, while Nepal’s flood rescue continues with U.S. aid and concern for missing citizens.
