China has launched the modernization of its armed forces, and it is planned to complete the process there by 2027. Such measures are timed to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the PLA, according to the pages of the Global Times.
The journalists interviewed a number of experts from the PRC, who noted that the authorities are striving to create a powerful army. The goal is for the Chinese Armed Forces to fully meet the scale of the strategic tasks facing Beijing. First of all, China hopes in this way to protect its own sovereignty and be able to resist threats from the outside, the attempts of some states to establish “hegemony” in the western part of the Pacific are worrying.
Now the modernization of the army in the PRC is proceeding at an accelerated pace. As Beijing's economic presence abroad has grown, the government is willing to protect its interests at the expense of the PLA. Expert Song Zhongping pointed to an increase in instability in the international arena, new hotbeds of conflict are also emerging, and there is a confrontation between major powers. In such conditions, China must have powerful armed forces.
In the course of modernization, it is planned to adopt new types of military equipment into service with the PLA. When creating the latter, the stake will be made on the use of modern materials and technologies. Among the vivid examples of such “replenishment”, political scientist Li Jie pointed to an unmanned submarine, which will be controlled by AI. In addition, China's plans include the creation of landing craft and cruisers.
