Zhao Chenghu is best known in the West for a 2005 press conference in which, as a PLA major general, he threatened nuclear strikes on American cities if the U.S. intervened militarily over Taiwan — remarks that created a diplomatic incident and led to his quiet reassignment. This coin predates that episode by two years, issued when he was a relatively obscure figure, which makes the subject choice curious rather than prescient.
