Chinese President Xi Jinping, who also chairs the Central Military Commission, has issued orders to publish three regulations governing the military’s internal order, code of conduct, and military structure.
The amended guidelines, which go into effect on April 1, are intended to fully turn the country’s military into world-class armed forces, with a focus on combat preparedness and addressing the armed forces’ concerns.
The military’s interior order regulations are being amended to better personnel management in areas such as soldier appearance and conduct, leave-taking, and military training.
The modification to the military code of conduct refines the rules for rewarding excellence, punishing violators, and streamlining pertinent procedures.
The updated military formation regulations provide precise norms of practice for military parades on land, sea, dock, and air.
The regulations’ amendments prioritize combat readiness as the primary task, with a basic focus on preparing for and engaging in wartime.
The amended rules, which fully implement the concept of administering the armed forces in line with law, seek to foster a more consistent order in war preparation, training, operations, and daily life.
