2016年2月1日,我国建立中国人民解放军五大战区,取代原来的七大军区,从此七大军区的番号被撤销,正式退出历史舞台,中国军队从此进入全新的“战区时代”。为何要划设五大战区?2015年年末启动的新中国建立以来最大规模的军改震动了全世界,其背后隐含的是习近平总书记对军队地位、作用的深刻把握。 On February 1, 2016, China established the five theater areas of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army to replace the original seven major military regions. Since then, the serial numbers of the seven major military regions have been withdrawn and the official withdrawal has been made from the stage of history. The Chinese army has since entered a completely new “era of the theater of war.” Why Five Major Areas Are to Be Planned? The largest military reform since the founding of New China, which was launched in late 2015, shook the world. The implication behind it is that General Secretary Xi Jinping has a firm grasp of the status and role of the military.
