Armed Forces of China

Profile of the armed forces of China

The People's Liberation Army of China (PLA) is by far the largest national military in the world, with over two million men and women stationed around the country.

The armed forces of China consists of five branches: Land Force, Navy (PLAN), Air Force (PLAAF), Second Artillery Corps, and the Reserved Force. All five branches fall under the command of the Central Military Commission and are used primarily for national defense. The Ministry of National Defense has no authority over the PLA. Instead, it serves as a liaison with foreign militaries.

The PLA Land Force is the world's largest ground force and makes up about 70% of China's entire military. The Land Force is reinforced by various reserve and paramilitary units. Despite having its numbers reduced by almost 200,000 in recent years, China has been modernizing its ground forces with the latest combat technology. They've also been exploring ways of using existing equipment to defeat a more technologically-advanced enemy.

China's air capabilities have also been on the rise. With help from the Russians and Israelis, China's PLAAF has been able to upgrade and expand its fleet of fighters. The PLAAF is currently the largest air force in Asia and the 2nd largest in the world (after the US Military).

Once considered a subordinate to the much larger PLA Land Force, the 250,000-personnel Navy (PLAN) has gone through a rapid modernization of its own that started in the early 1990s. It is divided into three major fleets: the North Sea Fleet, the East Sea Fleet, and the South Sea Fleet. Each fleet is made up of surface ships, submarines, a naval air force, and marine units.

The Second Artillery Corps is China's strategic missile force. They control the country's nuclear and conventional strategic arsenal, estimated to be between 100 and 400.

In the past ten years, China's expanded military capability has attracted a lot of world attention. With greater increases in military spending, procurement of high-tech weapons, and a greater importance on electronic and information warfare, many experts believe China will become the next superpower to challenge the US in military and strategic influence, especially around Asia.

In 2002, the China opened two army barracks in Tianjin to foreign media outlets. It was the first time in many years that the Chinese barracks allowed so many foreign journalists. Officers briefed the foreign press on military history, training and joint military-civilian projects as they toured dormitories, army lockers and museums.
