China Increases Military Control
China's President Xi Jinping promotes military officers amidst rebuilding efforts
China's President Xi Jinping has promoted two military officers to the rank of general, as reported by Reuters China News, while also appointing one of them as the new head of the military's top disciplinary and anti-corruption body, in a move seen as part of his efforts to rebuild his depleted top military leadership, similar to his previous actions described in the article Xi Jinping Promotes Military Officers. This development comes as China faces various challenges, including recent typhoons that have killed dozens and damaged crops and infrastructure, as covered by news updates on scmp.com. The promotions are seen as a way for Xi to increase his control over the military, a strategy that has been described as "salami slicing" in the context of China's efforts to expand its influence in the Pacific, according to reports on cgtn.com.
