China military training inadequate for winning a war: Army paper

[Brickwall]

Beijing: Weaknesses in China`s military training pose a threat to the country`s ability to fight and win a war, China`s official military newspaper said on Sunday.

China`s military authority has sent a document to military units detailing 40 weaknesses in current training People`s Liberation Army methods, the (PLA) Daily said in a front-page story.

"These problems reflect shortcomings and weak-points in the makeup of our military fighting force. If they are not promptly dealt with, then they will certainly affect and hinder our army`s ability to go to war," the paper said, citing the PLA general staff headquarters.

President Xi Jinping has been pushing to strengthen the fighting ability of China`s 2.3 million-strong armed forces, the world`s largest, and stepping up efforts to modernize forces that are projecting power across disputed waters in the East and South China Seas.

The country`s armed forces came under fire earlier this year from serving and retired Chinese officers and state media who questioned whether the force was too corrupt to win a war.

The military newspaper said China needed to find a cure for the "peace disease" affecting its training regime to ensure the armed forces could master the ability to win a real conflict.

Military authorities identified issues for the country`s army, navy and air force, including training standards and styles by commanders and military units. The problems were identified through supervision of drills, including joint exercises with foreign armed forces, the PLA Daily said.

China into battles. They can win battles but not War. War will drain them. If they pitch 2000 jet fighters than they face 10,000 plus jet fighters. When they said we might buy 700 5th generation jet fighters than it means india will face less than 50 of them as india usa aus malaysia vietnaam philippines Japan and NATO will share it between them. China is isolated. It has no bright future left in it. A communist nation cant rule the world. Thats the law. Nazi gone. Russia silenced.... Now its communist china's number.

on first glance it might seem like our military's training is bad, and it is, but if you follow the news, you would know this is a change in thinking, all training are done under realistic conditions and in a foreign military zone.

I would say it be 2020, give or take before our training can take us to the next level.

One of the things that's done is the same amount of hours will be used to criticize every exercise as the exercises themselves take, and all will be put on the table, and a failed exercise will not affect promotion, to give more freedom and security for trying new things and finding own fault.

In fact at this point, it's a competition to see who can find the most fault and improve.

We are also changing how every unit is organized, from platoons to divisions. It's a work in progress.

Any information on what divisions is going to be reorganized and also what was reason , normally this kind of news is always kept as secret atleast in chinese context

LOL @ paper dragon!

 

[thesolar65]

When was the last time PLA saw actual blood?

all of them, into new divisions, able to take on new missions. This isn't one or two division to be reorganized, it's the entire army going into a make over.

While nothing is official, the Chinese forums has many serving currently, so the information is good.

No reason for China to really truly build up its military force.

Nobody even us wouldn't dare attack her anyways.

I need to read the Chinese paper first, Reuters is just a news agency...cannot be reliable...lot of bull crap comes from Reuters UK.

Anyone with link?

 

[Soldier-X]

China should work more jointly with PA as in result both countries will aquir better training and excercise

Anyone with link?

it's real, it's just badly reported, the intention of the paper and all the new exercises as well as the review meetings were there to improve war making ability in a information age.

This report makes it seem like we just suck and doing nothing to change it, but the reality is we suck and needs time to fix it.

Keep in mind while America built weapons base on their need, to catch up we must introduce weapons before we are ready, which means it's a much bigger task for us than it is for them to master it.

you seem to be a sane american, but most of the american people who have interest in military don't think this way.
