Independent journalist Zhao Lanjian recently published a statement on X, stating that Ma Xiaotian, commander of the Chinese Air Force, has been "arrested," emphasizing that this is the twelfth time since 2023 that he has prematurely exposed purges of high-ranking Chinese military and political officials. Zhao Lanjian claims that high-ranking officials, including Yang Hui, Miao Hua, Qin Shutong, He Hongjun, Lin Xiangyang, and Wang Houbin, who have been repeatedly confirmed to have fallen from grace by official sources, have all appeared in his investigative reports.
Zhao Lanjian stated that in an environment of information censorship and rampant fake news, he insists on "using truth as the bottom line and evidence as the language," and claims that he is not a spokesperson for any media outlet or capital institution, but an independent journalist. He pointed out that this revelation of Ma Xiaotian once again demonstrates the power of independent investigation.
In recent years, personnel changes within the Chinese military have been frequent. External observers point out that since 2023, a number of high-ranking military and political officials have been investigated, involving units such as the Rocket Force, Strategic Support Force, and equipment systems, indicating that the anti-corruption campaign has extended to the core military sector. Regarding the news concerning Ma Xiaotian, Zhao Lanjian stated that it has been confirmed by Xinhua News Agency.

Zhao Lanjian emphasized that his information comes from "long-term tracking and multi-party verification," and pointed out that he has "accurately predicted the core upheavals in the CCP's military and political system for two consecutive years" in the global media environment, believing this reflects the accuracy of his investigations and his news acumen.
As of now, the relevant accusations are still awaiting official response. All sectors are watching closely; if the news is true, the Ma Xiaotian case could become another major event in the CCP military's purge.
He Weidong, Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission of China, was reportedly taken away after the closing ceremony of the National People's Congress on 11 March. On 17 October, he was announced to have committed serious violations of discipline and law, suspected of job-related crimes involving exceptionally large sums of money, extremely serious nature, and extremely negative impact, and was expelled from the Party and the military. Nine high-ranking generals were involved in the same case. (Image: Screenshot from "x"@SonodaHiroki)
