The revised rules, which prioritise combat readiness as the main focus with a fundamental orientation of preparing for and engaging in warfare, will come into effect from April 1.
According to news agency Xinhua, the revised regulations are designed to transform China's military into world-class armed forces, focusing on combat readiness and addressing the concerns of the armed forces. The revised rules aim to promote a more standardised order in war preparation, training, operations and daily life of the soldiers.
