China has elevated two military officers to the rank of general following a significant anti-corruption campaign within its armed forces. This move is interpreted as an endeavor to strengthen the loyalty of the military apparatus to the ruling Communist Party and its leader, Xi Jinping.
In an event held in Beijing, President Xi Jinping, who serves as Chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), officiated the promotion ceremony. Zhang Shuguang and air force commander Wang Gang received their promotions. Zhang Shuguang has also been appointed to lead the division responsible for investigating corruption within the CMC, the country’s primary military authority.
The promotions could place Zhang and Wang in positions to address the vacancies on the seven-member Central Military Commission. Corruption probes have left the commission with only two active members, including Xi Jinping as the chair and Zhang Shengmin as Vice Chair.
Several top officials were removed in the anti-corruption effort, effectively reducing the commission’s leadership. The anticipated restructuring aims to refill these roles. A new commission lineup is expected by the fall of next year, coinciding with the conclusion of the current five-year term.
