Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday called for accelerating the development of modern military science, and building high-level military research institutions to support the building of a strong military in the new era.
Xi, also general secretary of the Communist Party of China Central Committee and chairman of the Central Military Commission, made the remarks while visiting the People's Liberation Army (PLA) Academy of Military Science in Beijing.
Noting that military science is important for guiding military practices and spearheading transformations, Xi said relevant research should be combat-oriented, meet the needs of the armed forces and be forward-thinking.
He also called for better integration of military theories and technologies, research and practices, as well as military and civilian uses.
