China replaced two heads of an elite unit that manages its nuclear arsenal, sparking speculation of a purge.

General Li Yuchao, who headed the Missile Forces unit of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), and his deputy had been "missing" for months.

Former deputy navy chief Wang Houbin and party central committee member Xu Xisheng were appointed as replacements.

It is the biggest unplanned shakeup in Beijing's military leadership in almost a decade.

"The latest purge is significant... as China is undertaking one of the most profound changes in nuclear strategy in decades," Lyle Morris, a foreign policy and national security fellow at the Asia Society Policy Institute, told the BBC. .

"Xi has consolidated control of the PLA in unprecedented ways, but that does not mean it is complete. Xi is still concerned about corruption in the ranks and has signaled that absolute loyalty to the party has not yet been achieved," he said. .

Xi is also chairman of China's top military command, the Central Military Commission.

At a meeting late last month, Xi stressed the need to focus efforts on "addressing important issues facing party organizations at all levels, in aspects such as maintaining the party's absolute leadership over the military." , Chinese state media reported.
