Career
Jia was born in
On January 14, 2015, Mingjing News reported that Jia may have been taken in for investigation in a corruption case, but this could not be independently verified nor were there official announcements made.[4]
Duowei News reported that Jia, who had no military background, rose so high in the ranks of the People's Liberation Army solely due to his patronage relationship with Jiang Zemin. An opinion piece on the website said that Jia is a 'loyal foot soldier' of Jiang who was not promoted by merit.[5] The Chinese journal Yanhuang Chunqiu implied that Jia might be linked to the disgraced vice admiral Wang Shouye, who was sentenced to life in prison during the term of Hu Jintao for corruption.[5]
Jia was an alternate member of the 17th Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party (he was ranked last, because out of the elected members he received the lowest number of confirmation votes), and a full member of the 18th Central Committee.
