China reorganizes military HQ under 15 specialist organs
Print Edition
CHINA has reorganized its four military headquarters — staff, politics, logistics and armaments — into 15 new agencies under the Central Military Commission.
The new structure includes six new departments: joint staff, political work, logistical support, equipment development, training and national defense mobilization. There are also three commissions — discipline inspection, politics and law, and science and technology — plus the general office and five more: administration, auditing, international cooperation, reform and organizational structure, and strategic planning.
President Xi Jinping, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the CMC, met with the new chiefs of each agency yesterday. He described the reshuffle as “a breakthrough” and “a crucial step” toward a stronger military.
Xi urged military leaders to unswervingly follow the CPC’s absolute leadership over the armed forces.
He said military leaders must adhere to the Party spirit, obey political discipline, and “be politically intelligent,” with firm political faith and right political stance.
Military leaders must sharpen their political alertness and become better at discerning right and wrong in political matters, he said.
Xi urged them to “frequently, actively and resolutely” align their direction with the CPC Central Committee and CMC.
Following the unified leadership of the CMC is the political principle and discipline that military leaders must obey, Xi said, adding that military leaders should also take responsibility for their respective jurisdictions under the unified leadership of the CMC.
Xi also urged the reorganized CMC to focus on winning wars as their key task.
CMC organs must concentrate on the study of military affairs, wars and how to fight battles, and strengthen their awareness in preparing for war, he said.
CMC organs must measure their work by the only fundamental standard of whether troops’ fighting abilities can be improved, he added.
No time to lose
Xi urged the organs to lose no time in adapting to changes in their operational command system and building themselves into a smooth-running and effective joint command system.
He also urged the organs to initiate a “learning revolution,” liberate their minds and enhance their study efforts on warfare readiness.
Xi told the leaders of the organs to be demanding with themselves and impose strict self-discipline to set excellent examples for all servicemen.
Leaders of CMC organs must be loyal, clean and responsible, and consciously regulate their behavior by the Party’s rules and discipline, Xi said.
They must be determined to overcome formalism and bureaucracy, as indicated by excessive meetings, redundant paperwork, unnecessary appraisals and inspections, he said.
Xi said leaders of the CMC organs should set an example in carrying forward the “glorious tradition” of the armed forces and stimulate vigor and innovative vitality in servicemen.
