“Creating a department of the army command, missile forces and strategic support forces is very important for the realization of the Chinese dream of strengthening the army, given the current situation. This is a strategic measure for the formation of a modern military system, taking into account Chinese characteristics, said Xi Jinping. “This step will be a turning point in the modernization of the Chinese military system.”
