The top of the Beijing garrison frequently changed the top of the armed forces most of the removal of
In addition, Xi Jinping has been in power for 8 years, and the top military and political officials of the Beijing garrison have changed 7 people. Four commanders have been replaced, from Zheng Chuanfu, who began his duties in 2009, to Pan Liangshi, who replaced him in December 2013 (in office from 2013 to 2016), to Wang Chunning, who will be in office from 2016 to 2020, and then to Fu Culture, who is new this time.

Party Standing Committee members Yang Guangyue, Zheng Jia probable, Zhu Wenxiang, Yan Xiaodong, Tian Yixiang, Gao Wei, Zhang Lin and Song Chunli attended the meeting.

In addition, four members of the Standing Committee of the Armed Police Party Committee – Yang Guangyue, Zheng Jiagui, Yan Xiaodong and Gao Wei – remain in their posts, while four others – Qin Tian, Yu Jianhua, Wang Xiaoming and Guan Yanmi – step down, and four others – Zhu Wenxiang, Tian Yixiang, Zhang Lin and Song Chunli – are added to the Standing Committee.
In the past decades, the Chinese Communist Party military has been dominated by the Jiang faction of the Chinese Communist Party. Although Xi Jinping has continued to regain military power after the 18th Communist Party Congress and has arrested many Jiang faction officers such as Guo Boxiong and Xu Caihou, the Jiang faction has been running the military for decades and its people are present in all aspects of the military. Commentator Lin He Li once broke the news in an article published in Apple Daily that the top central-level generals in the CCP military still have poor support for Xi Jinping. Despite the destruction of the anti-Xi “clique” led by former military vice chairmen Guo Boxiong and Xu Caihou, as well as former Chief of General Staff Fang Fenghui and former General Political Department Director Zhang Yang, these disparate groups cannot be wiped out in a year or two.
According to overseas commentators, Xi should be deeply disturbed by the new round of infighting in the Communist Party, so he is once again trying to warn the opposition in the party by awarding military ranks, eager to maintain his precarious power.
