More uni graduates for military

The Chinese military will increase the proportion of university graduates in its 2020 recruitment.

The move is to send more high-quality personnel to the army, according to a document jointly issued by the Ministry of Education and the department of defense mobilization under the Central Military Commission.

The document ordered smoother channels for university students to enlist amid the novel coronavirus epidemic. “In military recruitment, priority should be given to those who have worked on the frontline battling the coronavirus and their children, especially college graduates,” it said.

Meanwhile, starting from 2021, the scale of a special postgraduate enrollment program for retired college soldiers will be expanded from 5,000 to 8,000, the document said. Measures will be rolled out to facilitate the employment of retired college soldiers.

China has changed its military recruitment from once a year to twice a year, starting from 2020. This year’s military recruitment runs until August 15.
