Zhang Zhaozhong (military official)

Zhang Zhaozhong (Chinese: 张召忠, born 1952, in Hebei province) is a Chinese military theorist at the PLA National Defense University. He holds the rank of Major General in the People's Liberation Army Navy.

A frequent commentator on state-run television outlets, Zhaozhong is known of his hawkish views. He often expresses a low opinion of U.S. military capabilities, with his 2012 assertion that the U.S. would "run like a rabbit" if China went to war with Japan over the Diaoyu Islands being an example.
