The news about the sentencing of former Political Commissar and General Liu Yazhou of the National Defense University of the Chinese Communist Party has been confirmed recently. Another “red second generation” figure, Hu Deping, has also attracted attention. Last year, a case reported by the Chinese Communist Party revealed that there were internal recommendations for Hu Deping to become the General Secretary, and there were suspicions of planning armed uprisings. However, experts point out that there is another side to the story.
