The military must be prepared for war, focusing on the ability to fight and win, grasping strong enemy opponents, innovating military strategic guidance, developing people's war strategies and tactics, comprehensively strengthening military training and preparedness, firmly and flexibly conducting military struggles, effectively shaping the situation, managing crises, containing war, and winning wars." This important connotation of Xi Jinping's thinking on strengthening the military deeply answers the fundamental direction of strengthening the military.
On November 8, 2022, Chairman Xi inspected the Military Commission's joint operation center, demonstrating the new Military Commission's determination and attitude to implement the spirit of the Party's 20th Congress and comprehensively strengthen military training and preparedness. Chairman Xi inspected the joint operation center three times, leading and promoting the entire military to focus on preparing for war and putting all efforts into war preparation.
Since the 18th Party Congress, faced with complex domestic and international situations and arduous military tasks, the Central Committee of the Party, the Central Military Commission, and Chairman Xi have adapted to the situation, comprehensively innovated military strategic guidance, adjusted and optimized military strategic layout, firmly refocusing the work of the entire military on preparing for war, leading the entire military to forge ahead, overcome difficulties, strengthen military work in struggles, and develop through innovation, achieving many landmark, pioneering, and historic achievements. The entire military has demonstrated firm will, flexible strategic tactics, and powerful military actions, resolutely safeguarding the country's sovereignty, security, and development interests, and withstood the test of complex situations and severe struggles.
Accurate military strategic science is the greatest chance of winning. We must unwaveringly uphold the idea of active defense, enhance the initiative and proactiveness of military strategic guidance, actively adapt to the change of the military combat readiness foundation, and treat preparations for war, cessation of war, deterrence, actual combat actions, and the use of military power during peacetime as a whole, shaping a secure situation, containing crises and conflicts, and winning limited wars. We must insist on establishing Xi Jinping's military strategic thinking, the military strategic guidelines of the new era, the command staff baton of war preparedness, and take responsibility for preparing for war, greatly strengthening military struggle preparation. The people and the military are the foundation of victory, and the magic weapon of the people's war must never be lost. We must grasp the new characteristics and requirements of the people's war in the new era, innovate and develop the strategy and tactics of the people's war, and fully unleash the overall power of the people's war.
Establishing combat capability as the only fundamental criterion is essential. The corrosion of ideology is more dreadful than that of firearms. Emphasizing the standard of combat capability is not only a requirement for effectively performing the fundamental functions of our military but also a requirement for improving the quality and efficiency of military construction. We must adhere to improving combat capability as the starting and ending point for all military construction, measure and inspect all work based on whether it contributes to enhancing combat capability, resolutely eliminate peace-time malpractices, and comprehensively improve the capability for preparing and fighting in the new era.
Whether the military can fight and win is determined by its command. In modern warfare, the role and importance of commanding operations have never been so high. According to the principles and requirements of integrating peacetime and wartime, running in normal times, specializing in main business, and being efficient and effective, we must strengthen the joint operational command organizations of the Military Commission and theater commands. We should optimize the joint operational command system, promote the construction of reconnaissance and early warning, joint strikes, battlefield support, comprehensive support systems, and capabilities, and accelerate the improvement of joint operational capabilities and all-domain operational capabilities. At all levels, especially among senior commanders, we must concentrate on studying military science, warfare, and combat, cultivate strong abilities, and lead highly capable troops.
"Warriors must train realistically." In warfare, training must be real. We should strengthen realistic military training, adhere to training based on warfare, deepen research on warfare and operations, and innovate operational concepts and training methods. We must enhance realistic adversarial training, focus on key issues, specialize and refine, and improve training levels and combat capabilities. We should accelerate the transformation and upgrading of military training, actively strive for the initiative in future warfare.
In a sense, war is about ensuring support. We should construct logistics that are entirely focused on preparing for war, deepen military combat logistics preparation, accelerate the construction of modern military logistics systems and military modern asset management systems, and accelerate the high-quality development of modern logistics. Weaponry and equipment are essential symbols of the modernization of the military and must be made better and faster. We must accelerate the construction of a weaponry and equipment system that adapts to information warfare and fulfills mission requirements, and we must build a modern system for managing weaponry and equipment and strengthen the practical application of weaponry and equipment to truly activate and mobilize them.
War is not only a material competition but also a test of will. In warfare, brave souls emerge when meeting at narrow paths. Daring to fight and daring to win, fearing neither hardships nor death, are vivid portrayals of the spirit and courage of the people's army. In the past, we had few strong elements and more weak elements; now, we have more strong elements and need even more, and our bones need to be harder. We must strengthen the cultivation of combat spirit, toughen the will and qualities of commanders and fighters through challenges, dare to overcome all difficulties, and dare to defeat all enemies.
Currently, the world is entering a new period of turbulence and change, and China's security situation is becoming more unstable and uncertain, and military combat tasks are arduous and heavy. The entire military must strengthen its awareness of potential dangers, crisis, and combat readiness, coordinate military combat readiness preparations in all directions and fields, strengthen the regular and diverse application of military power, firmly and flexibly conduct military struggles, improve the ability to timely and appropriately respond to complex situations, and ensure the ability to fight when the Party and the people need it.
