‘Absolute leadership’ over PLA agreed
Print Edition
THE Communist Party of China has included President Xi Jinping’s military thinking and the Party’s “absolute” leadership over the armed forces into its constitution, according to a resolution approved by the 19th CPC National Congress yesterday.
Under the resolution, the Party shall uphold its absolute leadership over the People’s Liberation Army and other people’s armed forces and implement Xi’s thinking on strengthening the military, as part of the amendments to the Party’s fundamental document for its members.
The development of the PLA shall be strengthened by enhancing its political loyalty, strengthening it through reform and technology, and running it in accordance with the law, the resolution read.
The Party shall build people’s forces that obey the Party’s command, can fight and win, and maintain excellent conduct to ensure that the PLA accomplishes its missions and tasks in the new era, it said.
The inclusion of these statements into the constitution will “help ensure the Party’s absolute leadership over the people’s armed forces, and modernize national defense and the military,” it said.
In addition, the amendment to the constitution also clarified that the chairman of the Central Military Commission assumes overall responsibility for its work and that the commission is responsible for Party work and political work in the armed forces.
This complies with the realistic requirement to ensure the commission fulfills its responsibility for Party self-supervision and self-governance after the military reform, the resolution said.
