China Military Restructures with Army Focus

Yahoo reports that “China has unveiled changes to the structure of its military, adding three new units, described by President Xi Jinping as ‘a major policy decision to realise the Chinese dream of a strong army,’ state media reported.”  

“The formation of the new units, which follows Beijing’s announcement that it was building a second aircraft carrier, comes with China acting more aggressively in territorial disputes in the South China Sea and East China Sea, drawing the ire of its neighbours and the United States.”  

“Beijing in November said it planned sweeping changes in a move intended to enhance the ruling Communist Party’s control over the People’s Liberation Army (PLA).”
