Ozawa, field marshall in the People's Liberation Army?

From the Daily Yomiuri:

Meanwhile, referring to the next upper house election, Ozawa said, "We have achieved a change of government, but the battle of liberation hasn't ended yet."

"In summer, we'll have a final battle [the upper house election]. I'll leave the government administration to Prime Minister [Yukio] Hatoyama, and devote myself to the battle as a supreme commander of the people's liberation army's field battle unit," Ozawa added.

Okay, so Ozawa sees himself as the supreme commander of the people's liberation army's field battle unit. An interesting choice of words. And he said this because he was in China?
