China allows more military family members to join spouses in army
China recently allowed more military family members to join loved ones serving in the army, which would help nearly 100,000 servicemen to end the separation from their spouses.
This new policy was approved by the State Council and the Central Military Commission earlier this month, according to a daily newspaper of the People's Liberation Army on Friday.
The policy allowed lower-ranking military officers, such as company commanders, to live with their family members during their time in the army, while the previous regulation, which was enacted in 1963 and revised in 1991, only benefited vice battalion commanders or above.
The policy also offers more conveniences for military families with servicemen in difficult and remote regions and in special posts, such as those serving at missile and satellite test bases, to now live together, according to the newspaper.
Wang Chengzhi, a senior PLA officer, was quoted by the newspaper as saying the military would make efforts to provide housing and employment for family members.
The new policy is designed to enhance the cohesion of the military, said the newspaper.
