I think current Defense Minister Dong Jun should be promoted to vice chairman of the CMC. He was former commander of the Navy. Former vice chairman Xu Qiliang who was commander of the Air Force did a good job during his time as vice chairman of CMC. Get more people from the Navy and Air Force in the CMC.

Ok folks. I think I finally found Gordon Chang's replacement.
My favourite? "Fierce gun battle with Xi Jinping's pre-posititoned guards".
Forget Xi Jinping Thought. It's all about Xi Jinping's Art of the War.
Seriously, I don't know why people feel the need to dramatise what is clearly just an internal bureaucratic power struggle. But I also feel a certain degree of jealousy that there are well-paid "China watchers" who can promote these narratives and get amply compensated and even a certain amount of social respect among their academic employers. Respect the grift.
