　　"Build the People's Army into a world-class army, and defend national sovereignty, security, and development interests with stronger capabilities and more reliable means." At the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China on July 1, the General Secretary of the CPC Central Committee Xi Jinping, President of the State and Chairman of the Central Military Commission, made a statement on the Tiananmen Gate.

　　Observers believe that on this important occasion, Xi Jinping put forward the requirements of "stronger" and "more reliable", to show the appearance of China's strong military to the outside world, and once again demonstrated the determination to build a world-class military.

　　Looking back in history, the People’s Army was created by the Communist Party of China, and the fundamental principle and system of the party’s absolute leadership over the Army are the political characteristics and fundamental advantages of the People’s Army.

As Xi Jinping said, “Persist in the party’s command of guns and build its own people’s army is the unbreakable truth that the party has drawn in the struggle of blood and fire.” With this as the cornerstone, the People’s Army has been transformed from the Agrarian Revolutionary War, the War of Resistance against Japanese Along the way, the war has achieved historical achievements from victory to victory.

　　"Because of the leadership of the party, the political attribute of the army as the'people's army' is guaranteed." Professor Zhang Xixian of the Central Party School (National School of Administration) pointed out in an interview with a reporter from China News Agency. Together with the People’s Army."

　　Today, the Chinese military has developed from a single service to a powerful army united by various services and arms, basically achieving mechanization, accelerating the pace of informatization, and opening up a new situation for strengthening the army and rejuvenating the army.

To protect the family and defend the country and fight back in self-defense, the People's Army is "the strong pillar to defend the red world and safeguard the dignity of the nation." In emergency rescue and disaster relief, and to defend the borders, the people's soldiers "clear love is only for China."

　　The People's Army is also a powerful force for maintaining regional and world peace.

Globally, the Chinese military has participated in UN peacekeeping operations for more than 30 years, has successively sent more than 30 fleets of ships to escort the Gulf of Aden, and carried out anti-epidemic cooperation with the militaries of many countries, continuously providing public safety products for the international community, and contributing to world peace and peace. Stable infusion of strength.

　　Guo Yanjun, director of the Institute of Asian Studies of China Foreign Affairs University, pointed out that there is no contradiction between building a strong national defense and military force and maintaining regional and world peace.

"China has always adhered to a defensive national defense policy, not to achieve the purpose of external expansion through military power, but to achieve the goal of maintaining peace and stability through strengthening military power."

　　Focusing on "taking history as a mirror to create the future," Xi Jinping proposed that a strong country must have a strong army, and a strong army can lead to national security.

　　Looking around the territory, China today has built a well-off society in an all-round way, and the Chinese nation has ushered in a great leap from standing up, getting rich, and getting stronger.

To meet the needs of its own development, China clearly proposed that building a people's army that obeys the party's command, can win battles, and has a good style is a strategic support for achieving the "two centenary" goals and realizing the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.

　　Looking overseas, the world today is facing major changes unseen in a century. The international structure is undergoing in-depth adjustments, the reform of the global governance system is accelerating, and the new crown epidemic has added uncertainty to the international situation.

In order to cope with external risks and challenges, China needs to build a consolidated national defense and a strong military that is commensurate with its international status and commensurate with its national security and development interests.

　　There is a view that comprehensive military capabilities and demonstrating international responsibilities are what a world-class military should have.

As China's international status and international influence continue to increase, the People's Army needs to fulfill its responsibilities and obligations commensurate with China's international status, and actively contribute to the building of a community with a shared future for mankind.

　　Outsiders have noticed that in his speech, Xi Jinping demanded that "the modernization of national defense and the military must be accelerated." On the new journey, the People's Army should be built into a world-class army, and that the country's sovereignty, security, and development interests should be defended with stronger capabilities and more reliable means. .

　　In the current domestic and international environment, how do we understand that China’s military development "must be accelerated" and that the people's army is "stronger" and means "more reliable"?

　　"Faced with the overall strategy of achieving the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and major changes in the world unseen in a century, the modernization of national defense and the armed forces meets the needs of the times." Zhang Xixian said that in the process of national reunification and the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation, China faces various risks and challenges. To challenge, we must strengthen national defense and army building, provide guarantees for our own great cause and achievements, and safeguard national sovereignty, security, and development interests.

　　Guo Yanjun also believes that China’s military power has experienced a period of rapid development in recent years, but on the whole, the national defense power cannot fully meet the needs of maintaining national security and promoting world peace.

"Under the current international situation, we really need to continue to accelerate development to meet demand."

　　Guo Yanjun said that looking back on the 100-year history of the Chinese Communist Party, every victory is not purely military only, but through the formulation of correct strategies, and even in many cases, small fights and weak wins.

If this is the case, "more powerful capabilities and more reliable means" may not only be talking about the military level, but also have comprehensive considerations, including the formulation of correct strategies.
