After several years of planning and doctrinal experimentation, on the last day of 2015, the Chinese armed forces (the People’s Liberation Army, People’s Armed Police, and militia) began its most sweeping series of reforms since the 1950s when it adopted the Soviet military organization structure.
The new reforms sought to better prepare the force for deterrence, warfighting, and non-war military actions both in defense of People’s Republic of China’s territory and at increasing distances beyond its borders. Civilian sector cooperation (military-civil fusion, subsumed under the new concept of “Integrated National Strategic Systems and Capabilities”) is essential to provide the personnel, modern weapons (now nearly all produced domestically), logistics, and political support necessary to conduct integrated joint operations in multiple domains (land, sea, air, space, cyberspace, and information).
