A top Chinese military commander has not been seen in public since last summer, and his absence at a recent Chinese Communist Party (CCP) conference has raised more questions regarding the future of the newest branch of China’s military.
Gen. Ju Qiansheng, the commander of the People’s Liberation Army’s (PLA) strategic support force since 2021, did not attend the plenary session of the 20th Central Commission for Discipline Inspection on Jan. 8-10. Following his disappearance from public view on July 2023, he was reportedly placed under investigation.
