Modernization of National Defense and the Military
As stated in the report to the 19th CPC National Congress, we have now reached a new starting point in our efforts to strengthen national defense and the armed forces. Profound changes in the national security landscape lead to new imperatives for building a strong country with a strong military. Guided by the Party’s vision for strengthening the military for a new era, we must adapt our military strategy to new conditions, and build powerful, modern armed forces, including the army, the navy, the air force, the missile forces, and the strategic support forces. It is essential to develop an efficient joint operational command chain for theater commands, as part of the effort to build our modern warfare capabilities with Chinese characteristics to meet new challenges in the new era and to accomplish the mission entrusted by the Party and the people.
Modernization of national defense and the military will be accomplished in three stages. By the year 2020, mechanization will be basically achieved, with significantly expanded use of information technology and significantly upgraded strategic capabilities. The process will proceed in lockstep with our country’s modernization drive, and cover all aspects of our defense needs including military theory, organizational structures, service personnel training and combat readiness, and weaponry. By 2035, defense modernization will be basically completed. By the mid-21st century, the armed forces will be transformed into a world-class fighting force.
