Chinanews, Beijing, April 7 - A Chinese military expert recently said
that military changes in China are different from those in western
countries in that China will largely rely on its own efforts and take
into consideration its past and present condition and this will be the
key to the success of the reform with Chinese characteristics.
In an interview given to reporters, Vice Director of the Military Thought
and History Teaching and Research Department of the National Defense
University Sun Kejia said in terms of organizational leadership, there
are many restrictive and impacting factors in the western countries
including the United States, while in China it is the from-top-to-bottom
case, in which initiation is made by top party and military leaders.
Compared with western countries, the expert said, China is a latecomer in
military changes. While both the two have their eyes on informationalized
war in carrying out military reform, they have started from a very
different level: in the United States, military changes are done when
U.S. armed forces are overall highly mechanized where as Chinese armed
force lag, which is far behind the United States is that they are only in
semi-mechanized.
Although China is a late-comer in military reform, it has its advantages
as such, said Sun, for it can thus draw upon or do directly obtain the
achievements and experiences from the western countries�� military reform
and put them to use in combination with its own characteristics.
