Rank held by general officers in some East Asian militaries
Jiang (formerly romanized chiang and usually translated general), is a rank held by general officers in the armed forces of both the People's Republic of China (mainland China) and the Republic of China on Taiwan. The People's Liberation Army and the People's Armed Police use three levels at present while the Republic of China Armed Forces use four.
In both North and South Korea, the same rank is also used but typically romanized as jang. In Japan, the same character is read shō. In Vietnam, the same character is read tướng.
