Since taking office, current Party leader Xi Jinping has brought down four vice chairmen of the Central Military Commission. Among them, Guo Boxiong and Xu Caihou were protégés of Jiang Zemin, while He Weidong and Zhang Youxia were his own confidants. In order to weaken the authority of then–General Secretary and CMC Chairman Hu Jintao, Jiang Zemin planted Guo Boxiong and Xu Caihou beside Hu to eavesdrop and monitor him, serving as Jiang’s eyes and ears while he ruled from behind the scenes.
