Building a Revolutionized, Modernized and Regularized Revolutionary Army

In order to modernize the national defense, the most important thing is that "the People's Liberation Army should be built into a fine and modernized revolutionary army on the basis of the original one."

Mao Zedong pointed out that after the founding of New China, "we have now entered the advanced stage of building an army, that is, the stage of mastering modern technology, and the objective conditions are fully equipped for this possibility.” China must be able to "build a modern revolutionary army".

In 1954, the National Conference of Senior Party Cadres of the Military System clearly stipulated that the building of a fine modern revolutionary army "is to be the general policy and task of military construction of our army."
