Agree. The Director of General Politics Department is not General Political Commissar (GPC). This position was abolished after the Long March. I believe Chang kuo-tao was the last GPC of the Red Army.
For example, in Fourth Field Army, Lin Piao was the Commander, Lu Ruin Wen (phonetically) was the Political Commissar, Liu Ya lau was the Chief of Staff, and Tan Chen was the Director of Politics Department. Was the position of Tan higher than that of Liu?
