Dong also oversaw China’s military diplomacy and fostered the thaw in US-China relations at the commander level in September. According to the report of the Fincail timing Dong was not actually promoted to the six-member Central Military Commission, CMC. This is China’s top-level military authority during the communist Party plenum.
He was also appointed as the Stae council and the cabinet-level executive body during the Match reshuffle. He holds positions in both CMC and chaired by President Xi Jinping and State Council. Don’s exclusion from the entities raises the question about his political standing amid the ongoing investigation.

After leading the PLA Rocket Force from 2015 to 2017, Wei was overthrown, and Li was investigated for potential corruption in military acquisitions.
