Celebrating the PLA's 82th founding anniversary which falls on August 1, military experts said that an ongoing significant reform inside the 2.3-million strong might will take much more attentions to modernization of the navy and air force.

Among the three PLA's senior officers who were promoted to full generals on July 20, Deputy Chief of General Staff Ma Xiaotian was awarded three-star insignias on shoulder of his original Air Force blue uniform.

The PLA's officers from different services used to change to the Army's green uniforms if they are promoted to positions in the PLA's four headquarters, a symbol of the Army's dominance in the PLA's construction and development.

For example, General Liu Huaqing abandoned his white uniform as the Navy's commander after being promoted to Vice Chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC) in 1987.

General Ma is just a new symbol that the PLA's officers from navy and air force keep their original uniforms as the effort to pay more attentions to the voices from other services.

In the current China's top military authority, commanders of the PLA's Navy, Air Force and the Second Artillery Corps for the first time become members of the CMC.

"Keeping original uniforms is just a superficial phenomenon," said Prof. Gong Fangbin with the PLA's National Defense University. "Becoming members of the decision-making CMC will greatly increase engagement in the PLA's major deployments by the Navy, Air Force and the Second Artillery which are all forces involving combined operations with high-tech equipment."

"The move also follows an increasing trend of the global military development," Gong said.

As a spectator on the vistor's stand beside the Tiananmen gate tower for the National Day parade in 1984, Gong said the PLA adopted an Army-dominating concept after the foundation of the People's Republic of China because at that time the major security threat the country faced was inland attack.

"When we saw the ballistic missile launcher vehicles for the first time in the parade, we were surprised and even shocked for seldom knew what kind of weapon system it was," Gong said.

"I'm looking forward to witnessing new cutting-edge equipment in the upcoming National Day parade, the PLA should acquire more advanced weapon systems to protect China's growing overseas interests."

Gong's outlook has already been carried out in China's unprecedented naval deployment to the Gulf of Aden and Somali waters to escort merchant vessels against piracy since the end of last year.

With the rapid equipment upgrading steps, the PLA has also started to improve its personnel structure by encouraging more college graduates to join the military forces.
