Is it not insulting to the actual generals of the PLA who bled and sweat to climb the ranks earning the honor of leading China's armed forces that some singers and entertainers can be called generals too??

Yeah, it's kinda perplexing. But seems like the goverment places their contribution in "generating morale" to be some kind of a "force multiplier"? I think their General rank does come with an asterisk*(?), in that they are not combat generals. Haha, what am I talking about! Anyway, interesting none the less.

She is a general in a combat support field instead of an actual combat units. There are generals in every department of the Army from infantry to logistics and medical etc,etc. This is also common in many western armed forces as well.

Song Zuying is a (lieutenant?) general of the Navy. Han Hong is 副团长? I don't know if that's even an actual rank, but I've see this in other searches.

Long story short, I'm guess military ranks are given to entertainers associated with the PLA based on seniority and fame.
