China has elevated the only remaining general of the body that oversees the country's military to its Politburo, the Communist Party's top governing body, according to a report from ABC News.
The ABC News report said China's top leaders made the move. Its headline says the step seeks to "strengthen party discipline," but the summary does not explain how the change is meant to do so. The report's author field is blank, so no reporter is credited in the material available for this story.
The summary does not name the general, identify the military oversight body by name, or give the date the elevation took effect. It also does not include any statement from Chinese officials explaining the decision. Those details are not in the available account and are not reported here.
The headline and the summary differ in emphasis. The headline stresses the goal of party discipline, while the summary focuses on the personnel change itself. Both descriptions come from ABC News, and no other outlet's account was available to compare.
The Politburo is described in the report as the Communist Party's top governing body, and the military oversight body is described as the body that oversees the country's military. Those descriptions are restated here as the report gives them, without independent confirmation.
