Introduction:
On February 1, 2016, a historic change swept the People's Liberation Army, the seven military regions entered history, and the five major theaters emerged. As the curtain of this new era opens, the first commanders of the theater have taken over the baton and played a key role in maintaining the smooth operation of the newly established five theaters.
The historic readjustment of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) took place on February 1, 2016, when the seven major military regions were reorganized into five major theaters, marking a major adjustment in the establishment of the PLA. However, it is not easy to ensure the smooth operation of the newly formed theater of operations. Among them, the departure and succession of a commander have become the focus of attention.
Among the first commanders of the five major theaters, General Wang Jiaocheng, commander of the Southern Theater, became a special case because of his age. Born in 1952, less than a year after serving as commander of the Southern Theater, he ushered in the retirement age of theater-level generals, that is, 65 years old.
With the departure of Wang Jiaocheng, the first retired admiral commander of the five major theaters was born, and he was succeeded as the second commander of the Southern Theater by Yuan Yubai, deputy commander of the Northern Theater and commander of the Navy of the Northern Theater.
Yuan Yubai's appointment has attracted widespread attention for two reasons. First of all, he is the youngest general in the five major theaters, younger than the other four commanders, and even 4 months younger than General Han Weiguo. Secondly, he was the first theater commander from the Navy, breaking the monopoly of the army generals.
Since joining the army at the age of 18, Yuan Yubai has been working in the submarine force, growing from a submarine soldier to a submarine captain, submarine base commander, naval fleet commander, and finally a theater commander. His rich experience in leading the struggle at sea became a key factor in his tenure as commander of the theater of operations.
The geographical location of the Southern Theater determines that its strategic direction is mainly the South China Sea region, which radiates Southeast Asia, which makes the situation in the Southern Theater more severe than that of other theaters. Since the Philippines provoked the Scarborough Shoal incident in the South China Sea in 2012, tensions in the South China Sea have become increasingly tense, and the South China Sea Fleet has become the core force to defend the South China Sea. Yuan Yubai's naval background makes him a suitable candidate for the Southern Theater of Operations, and it also brings favorable conditions for improving the joint combat capability of the sea and air.
As a naval general, Yuan Yubai excelled in overseas military operations, especially in escort operations, where he demonstrated excellent organizational and management skills. In addition, he has also resolutely defended China's national rights and interests on international occasions and has shown a tough attitude.
Under the leadership of the Southern Theater, Yuan Yubai will lead the Navy's South China Sea Fleet to play a more important role in the South China Sea and become the mainstay of defending the mainland's rights and interests in the South China Sea. At the same time, he also injected new vitality into the five major theaters, making the navy emerge for the first time at the theater level, and taking a key step towards the modernization of the mainland's national defense system.

Yuan Yubai became the first commander of the Southern Theater, representing an important change in the leadership of the PLA Theater and also marking the increasingly important position of the Chinese Navy in the strategic layout of national defense. This incident has brought us several profound revelations:
First of all, the changes of history and the development of the times require constant adjustment of the organizational structure and leadership level. With the changes in the international situation and the adjustment of national defense needs, China's armed forces, as a strong backing for national security, must maintain the ability to flexibly adapt. The seven major military regions of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) have been reorganized into five major theaters, providing a more effective organizational structure for the national defense layout in the new era.
Second, leadership selection should focus more on individual competence and experience. As a naval general, Yuan Yubai became the first commander of the Southern Theater by virtue of his rich experience in naval combat readiness and maritime struggle, demonstrating that he attaches great importance to his professional capabilities in the maritime field. It also reminds us that in the selection of military leadership, more attention should be paid to the actual performance and ability of individuals, rather than purely traditional considerations.

Flexibility is the key to maintaining the vitality of the armed forces: The reorganization of the seven major military regions of the People's Liberation Army into five major theaters demonstrates the flexibility of the armed forces in maintaining vitality and responding to new situations. With the changes in the international situation and national defense needs, the adjustment of the organizational structure is inevitable.
The value of individual competence and experience is crucial: leadership selection should focus more on the actual performance and professional competence of individuals. As a naval admiral, Yuan Yubai had rich experience in maritime struggle, and became the first commander of the Southern Theater of Operations, highlighting the great importance he attaches to professional capabilities in the maritime field.
National security requires an all-round strategic layout: The navy plays an increasingly important role in national security strategy, and the establishment of the Southern Theater and the appointment of Yuan Yubai underscore the great importance attached to national security in the South China Sea. National security requires an all-round and multi-level strategic layout.

On February 1, 2016, the seven military regions of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) were officially reorganized into five major theaters, a historic change that reflects the flexibility and adaptability of the Chinese military to meet the needs of national defense in the new era. Among them, Yuan Yubai became the first commander of the Southern Theater, representing the increasingly important position of the Chinese Navy in the national security strategy.
The reason why Yuan Yubai was able to become the first commander of the Southern Theater was not only because of his rich personal experience and outstanding performance in the naval field, but also because this historical moment required flexible adjustment of the national defense leadership. It also reminds us that in the face of changes in the international situation and national defense needs, the military must maintain the ability to adapt flexibly, and at the same time, pay more attention to the actual performance and professional ability of individuals in the selection of leadership.
National security is a comprehensive strategic issue that requires an all-round and multi-level strategic layout. The establishment of the Southern Theater and the appointment of Yuan Yubai demonstrate the great importance attached to national security in the South China Sea and provide a solid strategic guarantee for the defense of maritime rights and interests. In the new era, China's armed forces will make greater contributions to national security under the constantly adjusted and optimized organizational structure.
