MODERNIZATION FOR PROTECTING PEACE

China aims to basically complete the modernization of its national defense and the people's armed forces by 2035, and fully transform its armed forces into world-class forces by the mid-21st century.

Major structural changes took place in the armed forces after late November 2015, when Xi unleashed a sweeping military reform.

He attaches great importance to military training. Combat capability was established as the "sole and fundamental" benchmark of the military.

Only those capable of fighting can stop battles, and only those prepared for war don't have to fall into war, said Xi.

"We must put all of our mind and energy in honing the combat capability, and ensure that we are fully prepared, able to fight and capable of winning any time the Party or the people are in need," said Xu Dawei, a military officer, whose brigade works on drone technology.
