And another blue state has started hemorrhaging residents.

Over the past five years, Massachusetts has lost a net 200,000 residents to neighboring states.

The declining native population was initially masked by foreign immigration, but tighter immigration policies and declining birth rates are hitting the state hard.

An analysis from the Pioneer Institute claims that affordability, waning job market competitiveness, and an aging population are contributing to the trend.

Most notable among those ousted is General Zhang Youxia, China's highest-ranking military official and chief deputy to Xi.

The public firing of Zhang sends a harsh message as the general at 75 years old could have just as easily been quietly forced into retirement.

The firing, along with accusations of corruption and insubordination, served to make Zhang a pariah among Chinese leadership.

While the exact reasons for the firing remain unknown, rumors claim that Zhang may have passed on Chinese military secrets to the United States.

Following the purges, Xi himself and one other officer became the only remaining members of China's Central Military Commission.
