After the Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
Third Plenary Session, "soldiers in the literary
and artistic fields" have become a hot topic.

The plenum issued a document called, "Central
Committee's Decision on Several Major Issues
for Comprehensively Deepening Reforms".

It set out that in order to set a balance between
military and governmental organs, there will be
a reduction in non-combative organs and personnel.

The document stated that the military are overstaffed
with soldiers in the literary and artistic fields.
If one relies on singing, dancing, and playing sports,
the military becomes a place for corrupt officials.
Therefore, numbers of these personnel will be reduced.

However, the Peoples Liberation Army (PLA)
Naval Song and Dance Troupe, which is led by
Xi Jinping's wife, Peng Liyuan will remain unchanged.

The naval art performance troupe will be
reduced and merged with other groups.
This was operated by Jiang Zemin's lover Song Zuying.

This document has specifically raised
the issue of defense and military reforms.
It includes reforming military structure, adjusting the
composition of soldiers, and launching new combat forces.
It also involves reducing the number of academic
staff, the orientation of military professionals, and
the integration of military and civilian enterprises.

Hong Kong media reported on the
reduction of non-combative organs and staff.
The troupe led by Xi's wife's will remain, but the group
led by Jiang Zemin's lover Song Zuying will be removed.

Shi Jingdi, current affairs commentator: "Mao Zedong's
private doctor Li Zhisui recalled how Mao danced with
and had improper relations with soldiers in the artistic field.
Chinese people knew of the affair
between Jiang Zemin and Song Zuying.
To face this fact, the Chinese Communist Party
(CCP) promoting so-called communist morality
and socialist ideology has just been empty talk."

Generally speaking, becoming a military general is a great
honor, which is given to recognize military achievement.
In China, the artistic soldiers were
often casually ranked as general.
We can say the CCP artistic
soldier group is unique in the world.
Artistic soldiers being ranked as general
is quite unprecedented in military history.

Shi Jingdi: "It doesn't mean the CCP has
improved if it abandons the artistic soldier group.
It uses even more channels and more
convenient ways to reach its goals.
For example, the CCP said that during the war,
they could form the artistic performance group.
Under CCP rule, the morality of
the entire society has declined.
Many channels provide opportunities
to create corruption among officials.
Thus, it is unnecessary to keep the artistic soldiers group."

Sources suggest the number of employed personnel
is unclear, but estimates range over 10,00 people.
They can be found in the art performance groups,
including the PLA Naval Song and Dance Troupe,
and various other military song and dance groups.

Among them, their Generals were dancers,
singers, poets, painters and Erhu players.

Shi Jingdi: "In history, the CCP always makes
efforts promote its propaganda via literature and art.
The purpose is to brainwash people. For example, it
promotes hatred and so-called defending the country.
It seeks to blur the concept of the party and the country.
For example, using the movie 'Battle of
Triangle Hill' and the song 'The Full Moon'.
The CCP uses ways that play on peoples likes.
For example, copying traditional folk music and songs,
which have CCP culture injected, including inciting hatred."

Some netizens commented sarcastically that these
artistic soldiers are necessary and need to be kept.
They praise the CCP and presenting a false
peace, and entertain the leaders' livelihood.

Nevertheless, scandals involving CCP
artistic officers impact people deeply.
For example, the son of Red Singer General Li Shuangjiang
beat people, and was also involved in alleged rape cases.
Wang Shouyie, a former Navy deputy
general kept five artistic soldiers mistresses.
Dong Wenhua, a famous singer in the PLA
Naval Song and Dance Troup was involved in
rumors, Tang Can, a folk song singer was involved in corruption.

Some netizens commented that the CCP's plenary
decisions need to be understood in the opposite.
For example, in 1989 the CCP announced a decision.

It said the CCP will do seven things for
people that they were most concerned about.
It included punishing corruption and
collusion between officials and businessmen.
It firmly prohibited high-level officials'
children and spouses from doing business.
It said that it would cancel the leader's special supplements,
to strictly manage bus services, to prohibit banquets and
