China Promotes Two Generals Amid Military Anti-Corruption Reshuffle
China's military promoted two officers, Zhang Shuguang and Air Force commander Wang Gang, to the rank of general amid an ongoing anti-corruption campaign that has removed several senior leaders. Zhang was also appointed head of the Central Military Commission's anti-corruption division. These promotions may signal a forthcoming reorganisation of the military's top leadership, as the commission's membership has been significantly reduced. The commission, chaired by President Xi Jinping, is expected to announce a new leadership lineup next year.
