Xi Promoted Two Generals. They May Not Be His Men.

Xi Jinping has promoted two new full generals, but are they really his loyalists? By examining their career paths, political connections, and the PLA's latest leadership reshuffle, a very different picture begins to emerge. This program explores why the next generation of China's military leaders may be aligned not with Xi Jinping, but with the networks of Zhang Youxia and Hu Jintao. We also examine the subtle but telling signals from the promotion ceremony—including one striking moment that may reveal how much authority Xi still commands inside the People's Liberation Army.
