Guo Boxiong · Full chronicle and history

In 2015, former Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission Guo Boxiong was investigated, further consolidating Xi Jinping's power within the military.

Xi Jinping mentioned in public that no 'Iron-Hat Princes' would be allowed to exist, after which high-ranking generals such as Xu Caihou and Guo Boxiong were brought down.

After Xi Jinping took power, the two recently retired vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission, Guo Boxiong and Xu Caihou, were successively purged, and most of the vice chairmen who fell from power were charged with the crime of colluding with the enemy.
