Has anyone heard of the three "hua's": revolutionization (geminghua), modernization (xiandaihua) and regularization (zhengguihua). I found an article on globalsecurity.org by Richard J. Latham and Kenneth W. Allen, from about 15 years back, but have been unable to find anything more recent. Is there anyone here familiar the subject?
My main question is, are the three huas a way for the Party to gain more centralized control over a military whose modernization is encouraging the phenomenon of professionalization, or is it a reaction to elements within the military that are pushing for professionalization of the military (like what happened in the 50's w/ Peng Dehuai and Mao?)
I hope someone here knows what i'm talking about - thanks ahead of time!
