 * Symbol question.svg This article is new enough and long enough. The article is neutral and is free of copyvios. Could you add an inline citation for the hook facts concerning the military ranks of the negotiating team. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:18, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * ref tags added. Here's a link to Google translation of the relevant text. -Zanhe (talk) 06:31, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol voting keep.svg Thank you, the hook facts are now cited inline. QPQ has been done and this is ready to go. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:46, 9 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Symbol question.svg Just to make this clear before I promote this: are the ranks of "general" and "lieutenant general" considered to both be general ranks? The hook states he was among four officers awarded a general's rank, but the article mentions he only held the rank of lieutenant general along with two others, and only one other person was awarded a major general's rank. Sorry if I'm asking this, I'm not exactly that familiar with how military ranks work. In addition, there's a minor typo in the article: "officers colonels".

 * I have removed the typo. I looked at the source when I reviewed the article, and though like you I knew nothing about the rank structures in China, it was apparent that this was the first time that any high ranks had been awarded and I think that both these ranks come under the main title of "general".

 * Per dictionary.com: a general officer is "an officer ranking above colonel". So major generals and lieutenant generals are considered generals. -Zanhe (talk) 09:35, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
