The Culture That Favors the Development of a Strong Military

The culture that favors the development of a strong military can find its origin in the Chinese tradition. It was born during China's revolution and socialist development under the leadership of the CPC, and is rooted in the contemporary imperative to build a strong military. 

Addressing the Military Political Work Conference in Gutian in October 2014, Xi Jinping emphasized the need to build a culture that enables strong defense capabilities and inspires the courage and tenacity to confront daunting challenges, bearing in mind our military tradition and our duties. 

The Decision on Strengthening Political Work in the Military Under New Conditions issued by the Central Committee in December 2014 reiterates the importance of building a culture that responds to the specific needs of the military, fits a contemporary context, supports efforts to enhance defense capabilities, and upholds the values of our nation and military. Efforts to build such a culture must be guided by Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, help cultivate core socialist values, and focus on combat readiness and training officers and soldiers of the new era with faith, ability, courage, and integrity. Measures in this connection should include integrated development of necessary platforms, institutional arrangements and resources for creating better cultural products to solicit strength to guide and push the move to realize the Chinese Dream and the dream of building a strong military.   

打造強軍文化

強軍文化源自中華優秀傳統文化，熔鑄于中國共產黨領導人民創造的革命文化和社會主義先進文化，植根于強軍興軍的偉大實踐。

2014年10月，習近平在古田全軍政治工作會議上強調，要結合各部隊傳統和任務特點，加強軍事文化建設，打造強軍文化，培養官兵大無畏的英雄氣概和英勇頑強的戰斗作風。2014年12月，中共中央轉發《關于新形勢下軍隊政治工作若干問題的決定》，明確要求打造具有軍隊特色、彰顯時代精神、支撐打贏制勝的強軍文化，塑造中國心、民族魂、強軍志。打造強軍文化，必須以習近平新時代中國特色社會主義思想為指導，深入貫徹習近平強軍思想，大力培育和踐行社會主義核心價值觀，始終聚焦備戰打仗，著力培養有靈魂、有本事、有血性、有品德的新時代革命軍人，統籌推進文化內容建設、平臺建設、力量建設和制度建設，為實現中國夢強軍夢提供強大價值引導力、文化凝聚力、精神推動力。
