For the first time, the generals of the Rocket Army appeared in the military and political leadership of the five major theaters.Recently, official reports disclosed that Major General Zhao Ruibao, the political commissar of a Rocket Army base, was promoted to deputy political commissar and director of the Political Department of the Western Theater Command.

According to the Procuratorate Daily on January 7, from December 25 to 28, the Supreme People's Procuratorate invited 17 National People's Congress representatives from the People's Liberation Army and Armed Police Force delegation to Hainan for inspections.Among them, Zhao Ruibao appeared in the list of deputies to the National People's Congress who participated in the inspection as the deputy political commissar and director of the Political Department of the Western Theater Command.This means that Zhao Ruibao ranks among the deputy theater level.

According to public information, Major General Zhao Ruibao is the only Rocket Force general among the current military and political leaders of the five theaters (including commanders, political commissars, deputy commanders, and deputy political commissars).

According to the website of the National People's Congress of China, Zhao Ruibao is a representative of the 13th National People's Congress.

In March 2018, Zhao Ruibao participated in the National Two Sessions as the political commissar of a base of the Rocket Army.In an interview with the People's Liberation Army Daily, he said that to build a powerful modern rocket force, we must focus on the fundamental starting point of actual combat, always keep the crosshairs on the bull's-eye of war, concentrate on building for war, use building to promote war, and persevere and meticulously do a good job.Combat-oriented training sharpens the sword of a great power and improves the ability to win.

It is relatively rare for the Rocket Army to transfer to the deputy commander or deputy political commissar of each theater.After the current round of military reform, the exchanges between the various services and arms have been strengthened, and positions that were mostly held by army generals in the past have also been filled by military and arms generals.For example, the current commander of the southern theater is Navy Lieutenant General Yuan Yubai, the commander of the central theater is Air Force General Yi Xiaoguang, and the political commissar of the northern theater is Air Force Lieutenant General Fan Xiaojun.
