TL;DR

China has removed its defence minister, General Wei Fenghe, just two months after his unexplained disappearance from public view. The sudden leadership change is seen as part of a broader political shake-up in China, as President Xi Jinping consolidates his power ahead of the Communist Party's centenary celebrations. The reasons behind Wei's removal remain unclear, but it is speculated that it could be related to internal power struggles or policy disagreements within the Chinese military.
