Chapter 18 - Navy Construction and Development

Section 1 Naval Construction and Development Trend
Section 2 Naval Capability Requirements Under New Era Conditions
Section 3 Main Measures for Naval Construction and Development

The navy is an important part of the country's armed forces and has a very important position in the overall
situation of national security and development. After more than 70 years of development, the Navy has
grown from nothing, from small to large, from weak to strong, and from near seas to far seas. The
international military has become a modern maritime combat force that can effectively defend national
sovereignty, security, and development interests, and effectively complete diversified military tasks. Under
the conditions of the new era, the strategic environment and main tasks faced by the navy have undergone
major changes. How to build a powerful navy commensurate with the country’s status and fulfilling its
missions has become a major strategic issue that needs to be resolved urgently. Xi Jinping emphatically
pointed out: "On the journey of the new era, in the struggle to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese
nation, the task of building a powerful People’s Navy has never been so urgent as it is today." The
strategic capabilities of the navy under the conditions of informatization and intelligence will accelerate the
modernization of the navy.

Chapter 17 - Army Construction and Development

Section 1 Army Construction and Development Trend
Section 2 Army Capability Requirements under New Era Conditions
Section 3 Main Measures for Army Construction and Development

With the accelerated evolution of warfare, the land battlefield has been injected with many new elements
and new connotations. Revolutionary changes are taking place in the way of land warfare. The development
of the army is facing both new opportunities and severe challenges. Facing the new situation and new
challenges, we must actively adapt to the profound changes in the army's construction mode and application
methods in the era of informatization and intelligence, and in accordance with the strategic requirements of
mobile operations and three-dimensional offensive and defense, further promote the lean, diversified, and
modular development pace, and accelerate realizing the transformation from a regional defense type to a
global combat type, and strive to build a powerful modern new army.

Section One: Army Construction and Development Trend

Since entering the 21st century, major countries in the world have increased their investment, vigorously
develop army weapon systems with information technology and intelligent technology as the core,
accelerate the restructuring of the army force and military theory innovation, build digital battlefields and
intelligent forces, and vigorously promote Army construction and transformation with informatization and
intelligentization as the main feature.

Chapter 16 Strategic Guidance for Military Force Construction and Development

Section 1 Basic Law of Military Power Construction and Development
Section 2 Military Force Construction and Development under New Era Conditions
Section 3 Building a New Military Power System

Military power is the collective name of various powers possessed by a country or political group in the
military field, including military power and military potential, referred to as military power. Military power is
the existing military power of a country or political group. China's military forces mainly include the active
and reserve forces of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the armed police forces and the militia, as well
as military-related comprehensive forces in political, economic, technological, and cultural aspects. Military
potential is the potential power that can be used for military purposes by a country or political group through
mobilization. Generally, it refers to the human, material, financial, scientific and technological innovation
power and information power that can be mobilized for military purposes. Military force construction and
development, including the army, navy, air force, rocket force, strategic support force, joint logistics support
force, armed police force and reserve force, must be scientifically coordinated, strengthened management,
coordinated development, and comprehensively strengthen the construction of revolutionization,
modernization, and regularization.

Section One: Basic Laws of Military Force Construction and Development

The construction and development of military power have inherent and essential connections and inevitable
trends, and these connections and trends determine the direction, process and outcome of the development
of the contradictory movement of military power. Understanding and mastering the basic laws of military
force building and development is the basic requirement for actively guiding national defense and army
building and strengthening preparations for military conflict.

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.

Chapter 14 - Non-War Military Operations

Section 1 Main styles of Non-war Military Operations
Section 2 Basic Characteristics of Non-war Military Operations
Section 3 Strategic Guidance for Non-war Military Operations

Non-war military operations refer to non-war military operations carried out by a country or political group to
achieve a certain political goal, using military force, using non-violent or limited violent means. Under the
conditions of the new era, with the expansion of national interests and the rise of non-traditional security
threats, the role of non-war military operations has become increasingly prominent, and has become an
important method of national military force use and an effective means to maintain national security and
development.

Performing non-war military missions is an inevitable requirement for the military to perform its duties and
missions and an important way to enhance its combat capabilities. Its status is prominent in the following
aspects: first, it can play an important role in maintaining national stability. Natural disasters and public
health incidents are increasing and destructive. Various emergencies occur frequently and have great
psychological shock. The threat of terrorism is serious and political influence is great, which will have a
serious impact on economic construction and even social stability. Non-war military operations such as
counter-terrorism operations, stability maintenance operations, rescue and disaster relief, and security and
vigilance can ensure rapid response, control the situation, reduce losses, and restore stability. Second, it
can play a unique role in deterring war. The mediation and monitoring of hostile parties in international
peacekeeping operations can avoid or reduce the possibility of conflicts and wars. Border containment
operations can effectively control the border situation, prevent escalation, reduce conflicts, and avoid wars.
The third is to deepen international security cooperation. Non-war military operations such as international
rescue and escort are all of a military cooperation nature, which plays an important role in establishing an
international image, increasing mutual trust, and strengthening friendly relations with relevant countries.
Therefore, non-war military operations are an important means of national diplomacy and an effective tool
for strengthening international cooperation.
