The shake-up is believed to be an effort to ensure the military's loyalty to the Communist Party and its leader, Xi Jinping. BEIJINGChina's military promoted two officers to the rank of general in what may be a precursor to a reorganization at the top following the removal of several of its leaders in a long-running anti-corruption drive. The shake-up is believed to be in part an effort to ensure the military's loyalty to China's ruling Communist Party and its leader, Xi Jinping. Xi, who is also head of the military, presented orders promoting Zhang Shuguang and air force commander Wang Gang to generals at a ceremony Friday. Zhang was also named the head of the division investigating corruption at the Central Military Commission, the military's top body. The promotions could put them in line to fill vacancies on the seven-member commission, which has been effectively reduced to two by the corruption investigations. The commission is chaired by Xi. Its only other active member is Vice Chair Zhang Shengmin. Two former vice chairs, including the military's top general, have been removed or effectively removed. A new commission is expected to be announced in the fall of next year, at the end of the current commission's five-year term.
