MISSILES FILLED WITH WATER: Is China’s Military a Sham?

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

- First up—new reporting sheds light on Xi Jinping’s sweeping purge of China’s military leadership, exposing deep corruption inside the People’s Liberation Army and raising serious questions about whether some of Beijing’s most critical weapons systems were ever fully operational.

- Later in the show—some rare good news out of Venezuela, as the interim government under Delcy Rodriguez announces a sweeping amnesty plan for political prisoners, reaching back to detentions from the Chávez era.

- Plus, new reporting reveals Saudi Arabia is privately urging President Trump to follow through on his warnings to Iran, arguing that restraint could leave Tehran stronger and more emboldened.

- And in today’s Back of the Brief—the United States is now in the midst of a partial government shutdown, with signs it may last longer than initially expected.
