Ji Yan Spring and Autumn
At the same time as the recent posts of "first leaders" of Chinese provincial party and government, the senior generals of the PLA also quietly began to change blood.These personnel changes are obviously prepared for the 2022th CPC National Congress of 2022.
On December 18, the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China held a ceremony of promoting generals.Guo Pu School, Political Commissioner of the Central Military Commission's Logistics Security Department, Zhang Xudong, commander of the Western Theater, Li Wei, a political member of the Strategic Support Force, and Wang Chunning, commander of the Armed Police Force, promoted to the general.Xi Jinping, General Secretary of the Communist Party of China and chairman of the Central Military Commission, issued an order to the four new generals.
This is also the first time that the official disclosure of these four generals, which means that Zhao Zongqi, former commander of the Western theater, Wang Ning, former commander of the Armed Police Force, Zhang Shuguo, former Political Committee of the Logistics of the Central Military Commission, and Zheng Weiping FourEveryone has stepped down.Among them, except for Zhang Shuguo, 60, the other three were over 65 years old.According to the convention, the age of 65 is the retirement age of the major members of China and the position of the PLA Theater.
Different from provincial and ministerial members, Chinese officials generally do not actively release the personnel changes of senior PLA generals. The outside world must report from official media reports to obtain exact information of military personnel adjustment.
At the same time, in addition to the five years of the National Congress of the Communist Party of China, the New Military Commission Chairman, Vice Chairman, and Military Commission members of the New Central Military Commission are usually reviewed and approved by the chairman of the Central Military Commission.As the Chinese military management system is relatively closed and adopts the responsibility system of the Central Military Commission, other senior leaders of the Chinese Communist Party who have nothing to do with the military work rarely participate in military affairs.
Three of the newly promoted four generals this time "post -60s (born in the 1960s)", is the 56 -year -old Logistic Ministry of Political Commissar Guo Pu School, 57 -year -old Armed Police Commander Wang Chunning and 60 -year -old strategyLi Wei, a political commissar of support forces.Zhang Xudong, commander of the western theater, needs to be made public.
Guo Pu School comes from the Air Force. He has been serving the 15th Army in the Airborne forces for a long time and served as the director of the Political Department of the 15th Army and the Military and Political Commissar.In 2017, Guo Pu School became the deputy political commissar of the Central Theater and the Aerial Military and Political Commissar of the theater. In July 2018, he was promoted to Lieutenant General of the Air Force. In just more than two years, he was promoted to the highest rank of generals and became the youngest active general of the PLA.
Wang Chunning is the only alternate member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China.He has been serving in the former Nanjing Military Region of the PLA for a long time. He has served as the commander, equipment minister, and division commander in the first army of the Army. In 2009, he served as Chief of Staff of the First Army.The deputy chief of staff of the fleet, the 12th Army commander in 2014.After the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, Wang Chunning served as commander of Beijing Weijing District and member of the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China.
In May this year, Wang Chunning stepped down as commander of Beijing Weiyi District and the Standing Committee of the Beijing Municipal Party Committee. He replaced Wang Ning as commander of the Armed Police Force.It is expected that Wang Chunning will also replace Wang Ning as a member of the Central Political and Legal Committee.
Zhang Xudong has been serving in the former Shenyang Military Region in the PLA for a long time.In 2014, Zhang Xudong served as the commander of the 39th Army of the Army. In 2017, he served as commander of the Central Theater Army. In 2018, he was the deputy commander of the Central Theater.During the 70th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China in 2019, Zhang Xudong served as the deputy commander of the joint command of the military parade.

Since China launched a large -scale military reform at the end of 2015, the PLA has been promoted to generals.Among them, two generals were promoted in 2016, six generals were promoted in 2017, and the general was promoted in 2018. In 2019, 17 generals were promoted, accounting for half of the PLA's active general.Since the beginning of this year, the PLA has been promoted twice.
In addition to the four new generals this time, there are still 32 generals in the PLA.Among them, Xu Qiliang, Zhang Youxia, vice chairman of the Central Military Commission, Wei Fenghe, Li Zuocheng, Miao Hua, and Zhang Shengmin, members of the Central Military Commission, were not restricted by the retirement age.Other generals in the Central Military Commission, military and arms, and the generals of the main theater of various theater may be retired within two years.
Admiration will be 65 years old next year, including the Army Commander Han Weiguo, the Navy Commander Shen Jinlong, the Air Force Political Commissar Yu Zhongfu, the commander of the southern theater, Yuan Yubai, Wu Xingzhou, Political Commissar of the Western Theater, and Fan Xiaojun, a political commissar in the northern theater.
With the gradual approach of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, there will be more personnel changes in the PLA executives.In the past few years, the Chinese Communist Party's high -level anti -corruption in the army caused a number of senior generals. In the next two years, high -level personnel changes in the PLA will be based on the current retirement of the age and newcomers to fill their posts.This is very close to the recent changes in local provincial and ministerial members in China.
