Xi Jinping Reshuffles Top Military After Purges Thin Ranks
Xi Jinping, the President of China, promoted two senior PLA officers, Zhang Shuguang and Wang Gang, to general rank in a move seen as part of a broader military restructuring. The promotions come after years of anti-corruption purges that have significantly reduced the size of China's top military command. The appointments are likely aimed at filling vacancies on the seven-member Central Military Commission (CMC) and reinforcing the military's loyalty to the ruling Communist Party.
