  • Under the new plan, the Air Force and Navy will have the same repute as the Army and People's Armed Police will be replaced with a national guard.

    The PLA will be downsized to a great extent to bring about efficiency.

    Functions of "logistics, armaments and political departments" will be shared by generals in all divisions: Army, Navy, Airforce and National Coast Guard.

    Reason behind China's overhaul

    Reason behind China's overhaul
    Credits:
  • President seeks to stiffen political authority over military, so that China can move from being a large country to `large and powerful one'.

    The overhaul plan is a direct attempt to toughen Communist Party's hold over the powerful military.

    One of the main reasons behind this move is Xi's idea of being more assertive militarily and follow up to the South China Sea claims.

  • Information

    PLA article pulled down after it critiqued overhaul

  • An article was published by Sun Kejia and Han Xiao in the People's Liberation Army's mouthpiece, the PLA Daily explaining how the overhaul would de-stabilize the Chinese society but was pulled down within hours of being published.

  • China announced the establishment of its first overseas military outpost, this plan comes directly after China announced major restructuring within its military quarters.

    The Foreign Ministry refrained from calling the new outpost as a military base, saying it was to replenish Chinese Navy ships that were participating in United Nations antipiracy missions.

    A move to clock-out corruption

    A move to clock-out corruption
    Credits:
  • The army has been a principal aim of Xi's anti-corruption crusade as the party chief concentrates power over the PLA.

    Xi ousted two former CMC vice-chairman, as well as handfuls of generals involved in corrupt practices from "embezzling public funds to selling ranks."

    This overhaul would bring "disciplinary structure and a new legal and political committee" and strengthen Xi's stance.

  • China's President Xi Jinping announced a significant restructuring of China's military.

    The President said the overhaul will bring the armed forces under a "joint operational military command" to build "an elite combat force" by 2020.

    It will also involve reorganizing China's existing military zone.

    This is a conscious move on China's part from Soviet style to US style military.
