Summary In recent years, Chinese leaders have called on the People’s Liberation Army Navy (PLAN) to carry out tasks related to naval diplomacy beyond maritime East Asia, in the “far seas.” Designed to directly support broader strategic and foreign policy objectives, the PLAN participates in a range of overtly political naval diplomatic activities, both ashore and at sea, from senior leader engagements to joint exercises with foreign navies. These activities have involved a catalogue of platforms, from surface combatants to hospital ships, and included Chinese naval personnel of all ranks. To date, these acts of naval diplomacy have been generally peaceful and cooperative in nature, owing primarily to the service’s limited power projection capabilities and China’s focus on more pressing security matters closer to home.

    China’s “Goldwater-Nichols”? The Long-Awaited PLA Reorganization Has Finally Arrived James Mulvenon On 31 December 2015, CCP supremo Xi Jinping announced the most sweeping reorganization of the People’s Liberation Army since the 1950s. Rumors of these tectonic changes had been brewing for months, following decades of periodically aborted discussions about the need to fundamentally reshape the structure of the military for modern joint operations. This article outlines what we know so far, speculates about the confluence of political and military factors that was finally allowed to occur, and assesses the implications of the reforms for civil-military relations and military modernization. Introduction On 31 December 2015, CCP supremo Xi Jinping announced the most sweeping reorganization of the People’s Liberation Army since the 1950s.1 Rumors of these tectonic changes had been brewing since the reform decision was promulgated at the 3rd Plenum of the 18th Party Congress, and followed decades of periodically aborted discussions about the need to fundamentally reshape the structure of the military for modern joint operations. This article outlines what we know so far, speculates about the confluence of political and military factors that was finally allowed to occur, and assesses the implications of the reforms for civil-military relations and military modernization. What We Know So Far The reorganization of the PLA, announced at the end of 2015 but in planning for months, years, and even decades, is still in its very early stages. The outlines of key organizations have been discussed in the most general terms by designated spokespeople, and Xi Jinping has conferred titles and flags to the leaders of the new entities.

  • The Joint Operation Structure of the Chinese People's Liberation Army with Focus on the Reorganization of the Chain of Command
    The Joint Operation Structure of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army with Focus on the Reorganization of the Chain of Command and Control under the Xi Jinping Administration* Yasuyuki Sugiura** Abstract In November 2013, at the Third Plenary Session of the 18th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, Xi Jinping, Chairman of the Central Military Commission, announced the implementation of national defense and military reform. Drawing special attention among the series of reforms was the question of what kind of organizational reform China would be doing to strengthen the joint operation structure. The Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) reforms, announced in waves between the autumn of 2015 and February 2016, exceeded the expectations of many observers by beginning with the abolition of the four general departments structure and the seven military regions system. This change has been called the “greatest reform since the birth of the nation,” with some even calling it the Chinese version of the Goldwater–Nichols Act. The main interest of this study lies in revealing the present situations of the joint operation structure of the PLA with a focus on the reorganization of the chain of command and control through the series of reforms. Specifically, the main purpose of this study is to shed light on the following points: 1) Overview: How did the reform unfold, and what changed? 2) The features and the aims: What are the features of the reform, and what are the aims? 3) Political background: Why did they launch the reform, and
