President calls for more talent in armed forces
Print Edition
PRESIDENT Xi Jinping has called on China’s major military research and educational institutions to cultivate more talent for the armed forces, and to build world-class military research and educational institutions.
Xi was addressing heads of the major military research and educational institutions yesterday.
After presenting the heads of the three institutions with the military flag at a ceremony that marked reshuffling the institutions, Xi called the process a vital decision made by the Party’s Central Committee and the Central Military Commission to realize the Chinese Dream and build a stronger army.
In order to build a world-leading first-class military research institution, the People’s Liberation Army Academy of Military Science, as the leading force of scientific research in the military, should meet the new demands of military research and further combine military theories and technologies, he said.
Xi further stressed that the National Defense University of the PLA is a significant base to cultivate talent for joint operations as well as PLA officers, and should push forward innovation in its education, research and management to become a top comprehensive college on unified command.
As for the National University of Defense Technology, it must follow the worldwide trends of the development of military science, and work harder to make key technological breakthroughs, in order to build a world-class institution of higher education, the president said.
Also yesterday, Xi attended a symposium with the current chief officers of military education, research and training institutions.
“It takes first-class military talent, theory, and science and technology to build the PLA into a world-leading military,” Xi said.
“Science and technology is the core fighting capacity in modern warfare,” he noted.
China must make greater efforts to build stronger armed forces and boost fighting capability through science and technology innovations to gain a competitive initiative, Xi said, stressing military education, research and training institutions must assume this responsibility.
Xi ordered the chief officers to stick to the correct political direction by safeguarding the authority and the centralized and unified leadership of the Central Committee, conforming to the Central Committee, and upholding the Party’s absolute leadership over the military.
The reshuffling of China’s military education institutions is part of an ongoing military reform to build a stronger military and boost real-combat capability.
As a result, there are now 43 military education institutions, including two — the National Defense University of PLA and the National University of Defense Technology — directly under the commission, 35 specialized in specific armed services, and six of armed police forces.
