Chapter 15 - Overseas Use of Military Forces

Section 1 The Strategic Significance of the Overseas use of Military Power
Section 2 The Main Features of the Overseas Use of Military Power
Section 3 The Strategic Guidance for the Overseas Use of Military Power

The overseas use of military power generally includes both non-war military operations and war operations.
China implements a peaceful foreign policy and a defensive national defense policy. It has always
advocated the settlement of disputes between countries through peaceful means and opposed the frequent
use of force. Therefore, the overseas use of our military power is mainly non-war use. The basic operation
patterns include: international peacekeeping, international rescue, maritime escort, overseas evacuation,
international joint military exercises and joint training, naval and air strategic cruises, open sea training,
military assistance, warship visits, international counter-terrorism, etc. Today's world is facing
unprecedented changes. Our country is developing rapidly from large to strong, and overseas interests are
expanding. The military must resolutely fulfill the mission and tasks of the new era, and further strengthen
the planning and guidance of the overseas use of military forces, and contribute to safeguarding the
country's overseas interests and promoting regional stability and the maintenance of world peace.
