Document highlights weakness in training
Print Edition
WEAKNESSES in China’s military training pose a threat to the country’s ability to fight and win a war, China’s military newspaper said yesterday.
The country’s military authority has sent a document to military units detailing 40 weaknesses in current training methods, the People’s Liberation Army Daily said in a front-page story.
The PLA general staff headquarters listed existing problems with the country’s army, navy and air force, including training standards and styles by commanders and military units. The problems were identified through supervision of drills, including joint exercises with foreign armed forces, the newspaper said.
The challenges include soldiers’ personal problems, current methods and standards of military training, and issues of work style in the army.
“These problems reflect shortcomings and weak points in the makeup of our military fighting force. If they are not promptly dealt with, then they will certainly affect and hinder our army’s ability to go to war,” said the PLA general staff headquarters.
“The list will help the army focus on its weaknesses and force them to learn how to fight.”
President Xi Jinping has been pushing to strengthen the fighting ability of China’s 2.3-million-strong armed forces and stepping up efforts to modernize forces.
The newspaper said China needs to find a cure for the “peace disease” affecting its training regime to ensure its forces can master the ability to win a real conflict.
