This is strange. It is also happening in the Former Soviet Union. The Red Army wants to reconstitute itself and bring back Communism in the Former USSR, and the Chinese military is not pleased with Hu Jintao's more liberal policies compared with the older members of the Politboro in China. Same thing with Ukraine and Kazakhstan.

You got it completely backwards for China. The Chinese military is rather right-wing and pro economic reform. Hu Jintao on the other hand is more of an old school Communist as he rose to power in the Communist Youth League. This is why you have been seeing more internet and journalistic censorship etc since Hu Jintao came to power.

Guess who has benefitted greatly from China's two decades of economic reforms? The Chinese military. Any coup from the Chinese military would install someone right-of-center to the Chinese leadership, not a diehard Communist.
