Print Edition
CHINA yesterday announced a military reshuffle with 84 corps-level units newly adjusted or established, a move hailed by President Xi Jinping as another major step in strengthening the country’s armed forces.
Xi, who is also chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks while meeting chief military officers in Beijing.
The reshuffle is important in building strong armed forces through reform, said Xi. It will also have a profound influence on meeting the targets of enhancing the military in a new situation and building world-class armed forces, he said.
Identifying the 84 units as crucial parts of a new system, Xi called on them to safeguard China’s sovereignty, security and development interests.
During the meeting, Xi ordered the newly reshuffled units to adhere to the Party’s absolute leadership and obey the command of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and the CMC.
He also stressed political guarantees in the military restructuring, requiring the military to firm up their belief, abide by political discipline, and stick to the correct political direction.
The military units should ensure combat readiness and conduct more research to achieve that end, Xi said.
Setting the goal of building “an indestructible combat force,” Xi said major improvements should be made in fighting capability to adapt to integrative joint operations and the new military system.
He ordered corps-level units to take the initiative in reform and innovation to increase the science and technology content of the military, boost real-combat training and accelerate the upgrading process to make the military more competent, efficient and sci-tech intensive.
