This is from Reuters: “China promoted 15 military and paramilitary generals on Sunday, including the top bodyguard of military chief Jiang Zemin, in a move seen by some analysts as an indication the former Communist party chief would not step down.
Analysts said the promotions of the 15 People’s Liberation Army (PLA) and People’s Armed Police officers to four-star generals, announced on state media, were part of moves by Jiang to consolidate his position in the military. ”
