The strategic deployment clearly stated that “to ensure the achievement of the goal of the centennial army in 2027.” How do you understand and ensure the achievement of the goal of the centennial army in 2027?

Ren Guoqiang: A strong country must have a strong army, and a strong army can guarantee national security. The Central Committee of the Party focuses on the general needs of national security and development, and focuses on the important historical node of the People’s Army that has experienced its glory and salutes the centenary of the founding of the army. He has worked hard to advance the cause of strengthening the army. , Development of strategic capabilities for interests, provides strategic guidance for the realization of the objectives and tiered tasks of national defense and military modernization. The extreme importance of “ensuring the achievement of the goal of building a centennial army by 2027” can be understood from the following four aspects:

First, to achieve the goal of building the army for a century, it is necessary to accelerate the integration and development of mechanization, computerization and intelligence. Through long-term efforts, our military has basically achieved mechanization and significant progress has been made in building information. With the accelerated evolution of war patterns, building an intelligent military system has become a major trend in world military development. The evolution of war patterns and the actual development of our armed forces determine that we need to accurately grasp the connotations of the modernization of national defense and the armed forces, accelerate the development of mechanization, computerization and intelligent integration, and take the initiative in the military transformation of the world.

Second, to achieve the goal of building the army for a century, it is necessary to accelerate the modernization of military theory, the modernization of the military organization, the modernization of military personnel, and the modernization of weapons and equipment. We must lead military practice with advanced military theories, liberate and develop combat effectiveness, liberate and enhance the vitality of the army with advanced organizational forms, support the military enterprise with a phalanx of high-quality professional military talents, and provide material and technical support. solid with advanced weapons and equipment systems. This is not only an inherent requirement to accelerate the modernization of national defense and the army, but also the basic path to achieve the goal of building the army for a century.

Third, to achieve the goal of building the army for a century, it is necessary to insist on quality first and profit first. Major world changes not seen in a century are accelerating, and the international strategic landscape has undergone profound adjustments. The security situation facing our country is complex and serious. The needs and possible contradictions for the modernization of the national defense and the army remain important. This requires putting high-quality development first, improving the operational efficiency of military systems and the use of defense resources.

Fourth, to achieve the goal of the centennial army, it is necessary to promote the simultaneous improvement of the national defense force and the economic force. China’s economic strength, scientific and technological strength and comprehensive national strength have risen to a new level during the period of the “Thirteenth Five-Year Plan” and it has become the world’s second-largest economy, but its national defense force it does not match it and is in line with China’s international status and security strategy. The lawsuit is not yet supported. This requires coordination with the development of the modernization of the country, making full use of the high-quality resources of the entire society, accelerating the modernization of the national defense and the army, and ensuring a stable and long-term march towards a strong army. .
