The Chinese military will spare no effort in achieving the goals set for the centenary of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) in 2027, a spokesperson said on Sunday.
Wu Qian, spokesperson for the delegation of the PLA and the People's Armed Police Force, described reaching the PLA centenary goals and accelerating the development of world-class armed forces as "strategic imperatives" in China's pursuit of building a modern country in all respects.
"We must dedicate our efforts to ensuring that we achieve our goals with strong performance and on schedule," Wu said during the annual national legislative session.
Wu stated that deputies from the armed forces have pledged to intensify troop training and enhance combat preparedness across the board, accelerate the transformation and upgrading of military training, strengthen new-domain forces with advanced combat capabilities, boost military readiness in various aspects, and enhance the ability to win informatized and intelligent warfare.
