The CPC's Absolute Leadership over the Army

The CPC exercises absolute leadership over the army. This is a fundamental principle and a salient feature of China’s military leadership system. The CPC’s absolute leadership is the soul of the Chinese army. It is an important component of China’s basic military system and socialist political system. It is also a major political strength of the Party and the state.

Building people’s forces that obey the Party’s command, can fight battles and win, and maintain excellent conduct is strategically important to achieving the Two Centennial Goals and national rejuvenation.

Since it was founded in 1927, the people’s army, which was once-weak, has grown strong, winning one victory after another. It is the Party’s strong leadership – the lifeblood of the people’s army – that has made this possible. Upholding the Party’s absolute leadership is the fundamental guarantee of a strong army.

To realize the Party’s goal of building a powerful military in the new era, it is a must to fully implement the fundamental principles and systems of Party leadership over the military, and see that the Party’s thinking on strengthening the military for the new era guides work to build national defense and the armed forces. The army must enhance political loyalty, strengthen through reform and technology, and be run in accordance with the law. Greater focus should be placed on combat, innovation, systems building, efficacy and efficiency, and military-civilian integration.

黨對軍隊絕對領導

中國共產黨對軍隊實行絕對領導，是中國軍事領導體制的鮮明特色和根本原則，是軍隊建設的根本原則和永遠不變的軍魂，是中國的基本軍事制度和中國特色社會主義政治制度的重要組成部分，是黨和國家的重要政治優勢。建設一支聽黨指揮、能打勝仗、作風優良的人民軍隊，是實現“兩個一百年”奮斗目標、實現中華民族偉大復興的戰略支撐。建軍90多年來，人民軍隊從小到大、由弱到強、從勝利走向勝利，最根本的是靠黨的堅強領導，這是人民軍隊的命脈所在。堅持黨對軍隊絕對領導是強軍興軍的根本保證。必須全面貫徹黨領導人民軍隊的一系列根本原則和制度，確立新時代黨的強軍思想在國防和軍隊建設中的指導地位，堅持政治建軍、改革強軍、科技興軍、依法治軍，更加注重聚焦實戰，更加注重創新驅動，更加注重體系建設，更加注重集約高效，更加注重軍民融合，實現黨在新時代的強軍目標。
