Chairman of China's Central Military Commission Jiang Zemin Monday called for raising the level of weapons in China's military.

It is a priority matter to brace against military fighting, said Jiang, adding that it is an important strategic task that will impact the country's lasting peace and stability.

Jiang made the remarks when he and Hu Jintao, who is vice chairman of the commission, met with military staff working to improve the combat readiness of existing military equipment and the ability to guarantee the supply of such equipment.

Jiang urged full preparation for winning a fight on the basis of existing weapons, improving the overall combat capability of military units and making preparations against war.
