As one might imagine, there are quite a lot of PLA military higher-ups on China’s various television shows at the moment (guests, persons of interest, etc.). I’ve tried searching the ol’ 'net with my favorite search sites but so far have gotten bupkis. What I’m looking for is a comprehensive list, along with images, of the award ribbons employed by all branches of the People’s Liberation Army. “Xie xie” to any who can link to such!
