Chinese President Xi Jinping has stressed the need to recruit new talent to support the armed forces’ rapid modernisation and win future wars. Talent holds the key to advancing the high-quality development of the Chinese armed forces, achieving victory in the military competition, and gaining the upper hand in future wars, Xi told a conference on military talent-related work held from Friday to Sunday.
Besides being the general secretary of the ruling Communist Party of China (CPC), Xi heads the Central Military Commission (CMC).
Strengthening the capabilities to fight and win should be the starting point and ultimate goal of military talent cultivation, Xi Jinping said, calling for “ great efforts to improve military personnel’s scientific literacy and technological know-how to improve their ability to win modern wars”.
“He also urged accelerating the building of first-class military schools and training of first-class military personnel,” the Xinhua news agency quoted him as saying at the conference.
