Guest Commentary: Can Xi Jinping's Political Tightrope Walk Realize the Dream of a Strong Military?

Reported 12 months ago

A recent Central Military Commission political work meeting was held in Yan'an, the 'holy land' of the Chinese revolution, signaling a continuation of tradition under Xi Jinping's leadership. This emphasizes the political nature of the military and Xi's focus on political work within the army after taking office. Comparing this meeting with the one 10 years ago, it's clear how Xi has approached military governance through political means and striving for a politically constructed military. The focus on political strength in the military to ensure the party's everlasting command over the army reflects Xi's aim to maintain the party's dominance and secure continuous power.
