Chinese Communist Party chief Xi Jinping has ordered the People's Liberation Army to intensify its "real combat" awareness in order to maintain military readiness.
Xi made the remarks during a three-day inspection over the weekend to the PLA's Guangzhou military theater of operations, a term usually used to emphasize the coordination and joint operations by forces in air, land and sea, according to a press release issued by military authorities yesterday.
By chairing the Party's Central Military Commission, Xi is also commander-in-chief of China's armed forces, which, with 2.3 million enlisted personnel, is the largest in the world.
Xi asked PLA officers and non-commissioned officers to adopt real combat criteria in military training and intensify such awareness among soldiers.
Xi also reaffirmed the PLA's core task of improving its ability to wage regional wars in the Information Age and conduct diversified military operations.
"Bear in mind that it is the soul of the military to obey the command of the Party without compromise, it is the top priority for the military to be able to combat and win battles, and it is fundamental that the military consolidate itself through governing the troops lawfully and austerely, so as to reinforce its development featuring loyalty to the Party, modernization and standardization," Xi told officers in Guangzhou.
Wearing an army-green Mao suit during his inspection, Xi boarded a PLA Navy destroyer, the Haikou, and had dinner with sailors on the warship. He also examined an armored vehicle and observed a military drill.
Xi urged PLA officers and soldiers to maintain their loyalty to the Party.
"The PLA should unconditionally implement the principles to govern the military lawfully and austerely, train the troops through strict discipline, always focus on grassroots units and further improve fighting capabilities," Xi said.
Xi urged the PLA to seriously implement the strategic arrangements on national defense made by the Party.
