Summary

Machine summary

Li Can, a staff officer at the Central Theater Command Joint Staff Department, has been named a 'Most Beautiful Revolutionary Soldier of the New Era' and awarded the 2026 China Youth May Fourth Medal for developing what the article calls a '多级同步统筹工作模式' (multi-echelon synchronous coordination work model) designed to break down hierarchical and information barriers in joint operations command. The article documents a specific institutional problem the PLA acknowledges openly: stovepiped command layers that impede shared situational assessment and coordinated force employment across echelons. The framing points to ongoing friction in joint command integration at the theater level, though the article gives no detail on where, at what scale, or in which exercise contexts Li Can's model was actually applied.
