New army commander in Xinjiang

A new commander takes command of local People’s Liberation Army units in the Autonomous Region Xinjiang. General Wang Haijiang 汪海江 (58) moves to Xinjiang from a similar post in Tibet, where he had commanded the armed forces since December 2019. He is therefore considered an experienced specialist in difficult regions. His career is thus similar to that of provincial chief Chen Quanguo, who was also previously deployed in Tibet.
