money in real estate. The fact that you are no longer connected to the PLA really works in your favor, because you no longer need to turn over any funds to the PLA and can keep it all for yourself, and you don't have to waste any time doing army stuff that you weren't really interested in doing anyway. You can't count on people actively in the military to bail you out anymore, but with your old army buddies and lots of money to spread around, I think you can easily make up for that lost guanxi.

of a great or medium power's military. If any such situation did arise, it would almost surely be able to be foreseen far enough in advance that the oil reserve could be increased. So, it would be good to know how large of a deployment we're talking about and at what level of activity, how often the reserve is replenished, and how much petroleum would have to be consumed from more conventional sources before the PLA was forced to rely on it.
1874: 171:). "Proved reserves" refers to an estimate of how much oil could be retrieved with any degree of economic feasibility, not to an actual manmade stockpile, and, admittedly, China currently imports more oil than it exports. But this statistic shows that if put on a long-term war footing, China's oil industry might be able to support the PLA effectively. That sort of thing is hard to prove, since China is presently not producing to capacity. 31: 1037: 318:
officers who got their nominally civilian positions through 关系 (guanxi -- "relationship") with the people who are still in the PLA and who send a flow of money and goods through that link. So, officially the PLA is out of private business. Practically, it is out of private business except for the sucking up the money part of it. --
689:, Military rank was introduced in 1955, and lasted until the GPCR. Han Xianchu was one of the 55 soldiers given the third highest rank, General, below Senior General (10) and Marshal (10). Ranks were restored in the 1980s, but General Han had retired from active duty by then. David O'Rear (Hong Kong) 74:
Ok maybe I'm not a educated enough to know the difference between compulsory service and conscription. As a lay reader, I found it confusing that the body of the text says there is compulsory service for 18 year old men, but the side bar says there is no conscription. I would appreciate clarification
1594:
His/her point is, that, all of China's civilian population born after 1981 (when the compulsory military training was established) is a potential militia. This is true - all high school students spend a couple of weeks in training, which includes basic firearms usage, obstacle courses, martial arts,
1556:
From what I heard from a Chinese university student, a close girl friend of mine, was that all Chinese students take part in military training for at least 1 month. That is at least in Guangzhou, the University city new complex. It has something like 100,000 students. I have no references, except my
556:
I would like to know for the PLA and its officers, if they are required a certain degree or level of education? the US commissioned officers are required a university degree... British officers, not necessarily as NCOs, but i think these are rare cases... anyone know the answer to this? hard to find
347:
So I wouldn't say that the connection between private businesses and the PLA is strong now. One of the big reason that the reforms were successful was that no one lost. If you were a PLA army officer making huge amounts of money in real estate, you just retired and then kept making huge amounts of
337:
Yes, there are large numbers of businesses which are run by former PLA officers, but the important thing is that they are retired PLA officers, and not active ones. Also, one of the *big* parts of the Jiang reforms of the 1990's is that the PLA itself is not now funded by private businesses. Jiang
179:
I'd also like to point out that the "two weeks" statistic for the PLA's petroleum reserves doesn't mean much without some qualifications. How many troops out of the total strength are being deployed? It's hard to imagine any situation in modern warfare that would cause the deployment of nearly all
1560:
Also, the PLA, from personal knowledge, has military bases in several city centers. I have visited a military base as part of the chamber of commerce of UK, Australia and New Zealand. In fact it was a military base right in the heart of the new district Tian He in Guangzhou. It was quite sensitive.
317:
The PLA does not own or manage any private businesses. They are, however, massively on the take and have the power to, well, expedite or shut down businesses on the flimsiest of excuses. Further, many of the businesses that they have "got out of" are now run by... former PLA officers. Former PLA
857:
The above mentioned quote is not merely wrong, but it is deceptive as well. Conscription of a populace in excess of 1.2 billion would be next to impossible. And if the general populace is in opposition to the war, mass revolts could happen as well. A military of 5-7 million cannot handle nearly a
613:|}==PLA Today== Guys, I don't think this has enough on the PLA today. It's as if it started out as a history article. I think people want to know about the PLA today, not so much how it developed. Plus random stuff on things like lasers isn't terribly necessary. Anyone willing to do a major edit? 480:
Not to minimize the importance of a single human life but in terms of numbers, it seems silly to include numbers in this article such as "600,000,001 males" being available for military service. Obviously these numbers are in constant flux and percentage-wise it seems literally absurd. It's like
391:
Soldiers in the PLA are not conscripts, that's definitely true, but high school students do receive some sort of military training for something like one week. I mean there are 1.3 billion people in China, if they do have conscription, the country will be bankrupt. The fact that China has a large
230:
2) The fact that we are even considering matching the PLA up against the United States means something. If the PLA could hold off the United States military for a month and then collapse, that's hardly a paper tiger, since that's far, far more than any other military I can think of can do. It's
132:
Would it be considered very non-NPOV to point out that the PLA is basically a paper tiger? It currently has no strategic oil reserves worth mentioning (most estimates place it at about two weeks) and thus would fall apart in relatively short order should China ever get into a shooting war with,
400:
I don't think that it is really NPOV to use the US DOD estimates of military spending(like the 4.3%GDP estimate for China). The US DOD tends to use (generally inflated) estimates of total defence-related spending when it discusses potentail adversaries, while it only uses the official military
196:
from oil in case a military conflict. Its hard for me to imagine that a conflict over Askai Chin or the Spratlies would result in a loss of oil. Even in the case of conflict with the United States over Taiwan, one could imagine the PRC still being able to get oil from Russia or Kazhakstan.
878:
Why do the (People's Republic) Chinese bother with having a party separate from the state (which is a one-party state to begin with), and having the army report to both? Why not just make the party the state? There, problem solved, no further hassles or hackles.
561:
Good luck looking for it... The Chinese government doesn't even allow mentioning unit numbers/names in public - so where you might see "the fifth fleet" in a US news report, in an equivalent Chinese news report it would say "a certain fleet of the PLA Navy..."
145:
I'll dig through what I can find. For obvious reasons this is information that the Chinese government doesn't exactly advertise. (Yet they make "strategic oil reserves" a major item in their sixteenth Party Congress' agenda -- and publicly discuss it.) --
507:
It's meant to show that it's 600 million not rounded off, but exact. You can round 590 million off to 600 million, where is less than a 2% difference, but it's much more precise if you add in an extra 1 to show that it was not estimated or 'rounded off.'
363:
What's the difference between this and the rotating doors found in american government, both military and civilian? Retired officers enter the private sector, many times into the arms trade, certainly a possible comflict of interest there too?
1506:
My first thought was that the MND has no role in assuring continued party control of the armed forces; that's the job of the political commissars. My second thought is, 'wait a minute; isn't the MND mainly about budgeting?' Comments welcome.
941:
At best this section would be considered worded badly, at worst it would be non-NPOV without sources. In either case, this should be changed. I will go ahead and do so in a few days and a few other areas in the page to make it more NPOV.
226:
1) The United States isn't the only armed forces that the PLA could conceivably find itself in conflict with. I don't think that the PLA compares that badly with the armed forces of say Mongolia, Vietnam, Laos, Burma, Kazahstan or India.
203:
One other thing is that this is part of a broader strategic debate within the PLA. There is a school of thought that is very much influenced by the US actions in both Gulf Wars which is thinking about ways of winning a war in under two

The Second Artillery Corps is responsible for ballistic and cruise missiles. The First Artillery Corps is reponsible for all ground-based, ground fired artillery. (incl. towed artillery, rocket barrage-based weaponry, etc)
829:"In the unlikely event for the need of a conscription, it would be the only military in the world capable of standing against all other militaries in the world alone (assuming there is no nuclear warfare involved)." 415:
In PRC male and female are conscripted for service in PLA. Francesco PLA soldiers are not conscripts but it is definitely true that there are female soldiers in the PLA, in contrast to the all male ROC (Taiwan) army

The old names for officer ranks were labelled according to their command units. For example a lieutenant was a Platoon Commander, a captain was a Company Commander, etc, so a Major-General was a Division Commander.

billion revolting people. Also, this is hubris because of the sheer strength of the weapons of other nations. Even our conventional weapons could take out large swaths of military populace. Extremely biased quote.

Why does this article make no mention of the invasion of Tibet? Regardless of your POV regarding Tibet (so don't start shooting me down with that "Tibet was always part of China" POV), the PLA was still involved.

1740:, so when the soldiers and the officers retired from the force, is there any official body/or departments would look after their welfare? This article seems to just ignore this topic, it seems very strange. 308:
The article claims the PLA has got out of private business. Is this true in practice? When I visited China it wasn't hard to see the S-Class Mercedes-Benzes with military number plates and draw certain

also not diplomatically insignificant, in that the possibility of fighting a costly war, even one which it would ultimately win, can and does cause the United States to alter its foreign policy.

Also "paper tiger" is a bit harsh. Certainly the PLA would have significant challenges in dealing with a major war against the United States, but:
