More military rewards for ordinary soldiers

Aug 1 is the foundation day of the People's Liberation Army, as well as the day when the new Regulation on Rewarding and Commendation of the Army comes into effect. As the PLA's first special code on rewards and commendations, the regulation has become the topic of discussion both at home and abroad.

The implementation of the regulation shows the PLA leadership is paying special attention to rewards and citations for military personnel. Honor, which includes awards and citations, is something all military personnel cherish and should strive to achieve, while an effective system is needed to ensure that deserving people get it.

It is especially important to cultivate military personnel's sense of honor and dedication at a time when China is facing a complicated security situation, with its maritime rights being violated by certain countries.
