TextOre Supports Naval War College Research on Chinese Military Leadership

July 23, 2025

TextOre analysts collaborated with the Naval War College’s China Maritime Studies Institute on critical research examining leadership dynamics within China’s People’s Liberation Army Navy. Working alongside the Institute’s Andrew Erickson and Christopher Sharman, TextOre’s team supported a comprehensive biographical study of Li Hanjun, who was recently removed from his position as PLA Navy Chief of Staff.

This type of biographical intelligence work has become increasingly valuable as policymakers seek to understand decision-making processes within foreign military establishments. Personnel changes at senior levels often signal broader strategic shifts that can impact regional security dynamics.
