As the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China approaches, the "post -60s (born in the 1960s)" generals have fully took over the main officer of the PLA theater level and became the backbone of the senior general.

The PLA theater -level units are divided into the main theater level and deputy war zone level.After the military reform in 2016, the PLA had a total of 14 main theater -level units, distributed in the functional departments of the Central Military Commission of the Communist Party of China, the five major theater, military and independent units.

The Central Military Commission has a total of 15 functional departments, of which there are three in the war zone -level departments, namely the joint staff department of the Military Commission, the Political Work Department of the Military Commission, and the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Military Commission.The chiefs of these three major doors are also members of the Central Military Commission, and their status is significantly higher than that of other theater -level units.

At present, Li Zuocheng, Chief of Staff of the Central Military Commission, Miao Hua, director of the Political Work Department of the Military Commission, and Zhang Shengmin, secretary of the Discipline Inspection Commission of the Central Military Commission, are members of the Central Military Commission and are also "born in the 1950s (born in the 1950s)".The 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China will open on October 16, and the meeting period is about seven days.On the day of the 20th National Congress, the leadership team of the Central Military Commission will be generated.

After the military reform, the former seven major military regions of the PLA were restructured into five major theater in the east, south, west, northern, and central parts.The remaining six theater -level units are the four major arms of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Rocket Army, as well as strategic support forces and armed police forces.

After the military reform, the PLA Academy of Military Sciences and the National Defense University downgraded into the deputy war zone level, but the presidents, principals and political commissions are still high -ranking generals.

Since 2020, the theater and military officers of the People's Liberation Army have entered the adjustment period.In 2020, Wang Chunning served as commander of the Armed Police Force; in 2021, Wang Xiubin served as commander of the southern theater; Wang Haijiang was the commander of the Western theater; Liu Zhenli was the commander of the Army;Gan Sheng served as commander of the Strategic Support Force; Lin Xiangyang first served as commander of the central theater, and was transferred to the commander of the Eastern theater in early 2022, becoming the only active general in the military in the army.

At present, in addition to the three major theater -level departments of the Central Military Commission, the five war areas, as well as the military and political officers of the Lu, sea, air, rockets, strategic support forces, and the Armed Police Force have basically completed the replacement.They all served by the "post -60s" and became the backbone of the PLA senior general.In terms of political commissions, in addition to the eastern, southern, and western theater, they are also held by the "post -60s".Among them, He Ping, the political commissar of the Eastern Theater of the Eastern War Zone, will be 65 years old this year. Wang Jianwu, the political commissar of the southern theater, is 64 years old. It is expected that they will retreat soon.

Among the "post -60s" generals, the 61 -year -old commander Li Qiaoming, the former northern war zone commander, has the deepest qualifications. He served as commander of the Northern Theater in 2017 and was the youngest main theater -level leader at that time.At present, the official position has not been announced.

The 58 -year -old Eastern Theater Commander Lin Xiangyang has briefly served as commander of the Central Theater last year. He is currently the only active general who has served as two theater commanders.

However, Gao Jin, the Minister of Logistics of the Central Military Commission of the Central Military Commission, who was once regarded as the "star general", accidentally selected the PLA and the Armed Police Force to participate in the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
