BEIJING (AP) - A former defense minister whose name was stricken from history books after he was accused of plotting to assassinate Communist leader Mao Zedong has been included in a museum exhibit honoring a group of China's military luminaries, state media reported Monday.
A portrait of the late Lin Biao, once Mao's hand-picked successor, is included in a display of the "Ten Marshals," a group considered founders of China's armed forces, at the Chinese Military Museum in Beijing, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
"With objective thinking, we decided to put the picture of Lin Biao together with the other nine marshals," Jiang Tingyu, senior researcher at the museum, was quoted as saying. "We have to show history as it was."
