Reform of Military Policies and Institutions

Reform of Military Policies and Institutions

Reform of military policies and institutions is necessary to enhance combat capabilities and boost morale, innovation and creativity. By 2020, reform measures implemented across all areas will lead to a framework of military policies and institutions that reflects China's need to build socialism with Chinese characteristics. By 2022, the framework will be fleshed out to complete a coherent system of military policies and institutions. 

Specifically, institutions for building stronger Party organizations in the military are under reform, aiming to ensure the authority and centralized, unified leadership of the Party Central Committee, the CMC chairperson responsibility system, and the Party's absolute leadership over the military. Revising policies on the employment of military forces is intended to better ensure that the military is effective in fulfilling its missions in the new era. Changes have to be made in this regard to boost the development of military forces, professionalize the officer corps, improve remuneration and other benefits for military personnel, and create mechanisms that ensure that service members are held in high regard. The reform should also help improve military training, equipment development, logistic support, military research, and national defense mobilization, as part of the measures to develop combat capabilities. Upgraded military management with refined policies and institutions is important for efficient military systems and quality military development.
