In this episode I analyze recent PLA purges and the broader consequences for China’s strategic ambitions in the Arctic.
This story unravels with the purge of the Eastern Theater Navy Commander, Vice Admiral Wang Zhongcai.
Wang previously oversaw the restructure of the Coast Guard, including its first deployment into the Arctic. The Navy now plays a critical role inside the Coast Guard and other tools of state power.
As China seeks to assert itself as a "near-Arctic state", how is China projecting para-naval force alongside its economic interests?
And what are the consequences of removing valuable experience navigating complex environments such as the Arctic?
Head over to the Substack for more key developments impacting the PLA and the broader region.
