The People's Liberation Army (PLA) announced key appointments in a major reshuffle that experts and observers said reflects its determination to continue its modernization drive.
Four generals--Fang Fenghui, Zhang Yang, Zhao Keshi and Zhang Youxia--were named to lead four key PLA departments: general staff, general political, general logistics and general armaments.
The reshuffle reflects the leadership's emphasis on the experience of senior military commanders, especially at a time of regional tension.
All four are generals from the PLA ground force and have worked their way up the ladders due to their outstanding performance in military service. |
