Ousted Chinese General Accused of Leaking Nuclear Secrets to U.S.

China’s top general was fired by President Xi Jinping following bombshell accusations of leaking top secrets to one of the Asian superpower’s biggest rivals, according to a report.

Gen. Zhang Youxia, 75, was ousted from his high-ranking role as vice chairman of the decision-making body Central Military Commission and placed under investigation as Xi purges the leadership of the People’s Liberation Army. Zhang was once seen as Xi’s most trusted military ally, ranking second only to the president in the chain of command.
