Hu shuffles military leaders Chinese President Hu Jintao has carried out a major reshuffling of military leaders, according to the PRC-owned newspaper Wen Wei Po. The newspaper reported Dec. 21 that the shift was the largest readjustment of senior generals since Hu took over as chairman of the Central Military Commission earlier this year. The appointments include naming Lanzhou Military Region Political Commissar Liu Yongzhi as deputy director of the General Political Department (GPD), and the promotion of Beijing Military Region Chief of Staff Chang Wanquan to be commander of Shenyang Military Region. The report said "many generals" will reach the mandatory retirement age this year. As a result, more changes are likely. "This year-end round of military personnel transfers can be seen as the first round of senior military leader transfers since Hu Jintao took over the leadership of the armed forces, hence it merits attention," the newspaper reported. -------------------------- Want to discuss this topic?
