Unexpectedly, China named a new social commander for its large floor forces, which indicates that President Xi Jinping is enforcing military discipline.
According to the official Xinhua news agency, General Chen Hui has been appointed to oversee the Women’s Liberation Army’s ground troops and foster political commitment. The 61-year-old originally served in the Air Force, and he was appointed the new PLA Aerospace Force’s social commander in April.
Chen, who hasn’t worked in the ground forces in a while and has only been with the Aerospace Force for a month, is amazing. He replaces the 61-year-old Qin Shutong. No official reason was given for Qin’s exit and his next posting wasn’t announced. Qin’s father resigned at the de facto retirement age of 65.
Qin, along with Ground Force Commander Li Qiaoming, were not seen at Chen’s campaign meeting, according to footage from condition journalist China Central Television, an obvious break with tradition. Qin and Li didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment on why the Defense Ministry didn’t show up.
The largest military in the world by active personnel has been the subject of corruption scandals that have affected figures including the final two defense ministers, some officials connected to the mysterious Rocket Force, and Miao Hua, who was suspended from his position on the Central Military Commission, the country’s top military body.
Miao, a democratic leader from the army who rose the rates of the Army under Xi, was targeted as part of an expanding group of suspicion in the equipped forces. It also comes as Xi ladders up training around self-ruled Taiwan, which Beijing has vowed to recapture tomorrow, by force if necessary.
According to the US Defense Department, bone investigations may hinder China’s military forces ‘ efforts to modernize.
Since Mao Zedong, China’s most prominent leader has been enraging the troops more forcefully. He recommended that the government be reorganized this year, replacing the 2015 Strategic Support Force with three fresh trees. He even held his first military-political job meeting since 2014, a conference he had formerly used to assert his power over the Army.
