Preface

In today's world, peace and development are facing new opportunities and Challenges. It is a historic mission entrusted by the era to people of all nations to firmly grasp the opportunities, jointly meet the challenges, cooperatively maintain security and collectively achieve development.

It is China's unshakable national commitment and strategic choice to take the road of peaceful development. China unswervingly pursues an independent foreign policy of peace and a national defense policy that is defensive in nature. China opposes any form of hegemonism or power politics, and does not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries. China will never seek hegemony or behave in a hegemonic manner, nor will it engage in military expansion. China advocates a new security concept featuring mutual trust, mutual benefit, equality and coordination, and pursues comprehensive security, common security and cooperative security.

It is a strategic task of China's modernization drive as well as a strong guarantee for China's peaceful development to build a strong national defense and powerful armed forces which are commensurate with China's international standing and meet the needs of its security and development interests. China's armed forces act to meet the new requirements of China's national development and security strategies, follow the theoretical guidance of the Scientific Outlook on Development, speed up the transformation of the generating mode of combat effectiveness, build a system of modern military forces with Chinese characteristics, enhance military strategic guidance and diversify the ways of employing armed forces as the times require. China's armed forces provide security guarantee and strategic support for national development, and make due contributions to the maintenance of world peace and regional stability.

一、新形勢、新挑戰、新使命

I. New Situation, New Challenges and New Missions

新世紀以來，世界發生深刻複雜變化，和平與發展仍然是時代主題。經濟全球化、世界多極化深入發展，文化多樣化、社會信息化持續推進，國際力量對比朝着有利於維護世界和平方向發展，國際形勢保持總體和平穩定的基本態勢。與此同時，世界仍然很不安寧，霸權主義、強權政治和新干涉主義有所上升，局部動盪頻繁發生，熱點問題此起彼伏，傳統與非傳統安全挑戰交織互動，國際軍事領域競爭更趨激烈，國際安全問題的突發性、關聯性、綜合性明顯上升。亞太地區日益成爲世界經濟發展和大國戰略博弈的重要舞臺，美國調整亞太安全戰略，地區格局深刻調整。

Since the beginning of the new century, profound and complex changes have taken place in the world, but peace and development remain the underlying trends of our times. The global trends toward economic globalization and multi-polarity are intensifying, cultural diversity is increasing, and an information society is fast emerging. The balance of international forces is shifting in favor of maintaining world peace, and on the whole the international situation remains peaceful and stable. Meanwhile, however, the world is still far from being tranquil. There are signs of increasing hegemonism, power politics and neo-interventionism. Local turmoils occur frequently. Hot-spot issues keep cropping up. Traditional and non-traditional security challenges interweave and interact. Competition is intensifying in the international military field. International security issues are growing noticeably more abrupt, interrelated and comprehensive. The Asia-Pacific region has become an increasingly significant stage for world economic development and strategic interaction between major powers. The US is adjusting its Asia-Pacific security strategy, and the regional landscape is undergoing profound changes.

中國緊緊抓住和用好發展的重要戰略機遇期，現代化建設成就舉世矚目，綜合國力大幅躍升，人民生活顯著改善，社會大局保持穩定，兩岸關係繼續呈現和平發展勢頭，國際競爭力和影響力不斷提高。但是，中國仍面臨多元複雜的安全威脅和挑戰，生存安全問題和發展安全問題、傳統安全威脅和非傳統安全威脅相互交織，維護國家統一、維護領土完整、維護髮展利益的任務艱鉅繁重。有的國家深化亞太軍事同盟，擴大軍事存在，頻繁製造地區緊張局勢。個別鄰國在涉及中國領土主權和海洋權益上採取使問題複雜化、擴大化的舉動，日本在釣魚島問題上製造事端。恐怖主義、分裂主義、極端主義“三股勢力”威脅上升。“臺獨”分裂勢力及其分裂活動仍然是兩岸關係和平發展的最大威脅。重大自然災害、安全事故和公共衛生事件頻發，影響社會和諧穩定的因素增加，國家海外利益安全風險上升。機械化戰爭形態向信息化戰爭形態加速演變，主要國家大力發展軍事高新技術，搶佔太空、網絡空間等國際競爭戰略制高點。

China has seized and made the most of this important period of strategic opportunities for its development, and its modernization achievements have captured world attention. China's overall national strength has grown dramatically and the Chinese people's lives have been remarkably improved. China enjoys general social stability and cross-Straits relations are sustaining a momentum of peaceful development. China's international competitiveness and influence are steadily increasing. However, China still faces multiple and complicated security threats and challenges. The issues of subsistence and development security and the traditional and non-traditional threats to security are interwoven. Therefore, China has an arduous task to safeguard its national unification, territorial integrity and development interests.

Some country has strengthened its Asia-Pacific military alliances, expanded its military presence in the region, and frequently makes the situation there tenser. On the issues concerning China's territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests, some neighboring countries are taking actions that complicate or exacerbate the situation, and Japan is making trouble over the issue of the Diaoyu Islands. The threats posed by "three forces," namely, terrorism, separatism and extremism, are on the rise. The "Taiwan independence" separatist forces and their activities are still the biggest threat to the peaceful development of cross-Straits relations. Serious natural disasters, security accidents and public health incidents keep occurring. Factors affecting social harmony and stability are growing in number, and the security risks to China's overseas interests are on the increase. Changes in the form of war from mechanization to informationization are accelerating. Major powers are vigorously developing new and more sophisticated military technologies so as to ensure that they can maintain strategic superiorities in international competition in such areas as outer space and cyber space.

面對複雜多變的安全環境，人民解放軍堅決履行新世紀新階段歷史使命，拓展國家安全戰略和軍事戰略視野，立足打贏信息化條件下局部戰爭，積極運籌和平時期武裝力量運用，有效應對多種安全威脅，完成多樣化軍事任務。

Facing a complex and volatile security situation, the People's Liberation Army (PLA) resolutely carries out its historical missions for the new stage in the new century. China's armed forces broaden their visions of national security strategy and military strategy, aim at winning local wars under the conditions of informationization, make active planning for the use of armed forces in peacetime, deal effectively with various security threats and accomplish diversified military tasks.

中國武裝力量的多樣化運用，堅持以下基本政策和原則：

The diversified employment of China's armed forces adheres to fundamental policies and principles as follows:

——維護國家主權、安全、領土完整，保障國家和平發展。這是中國加強國防建設的目的，也是憲法和法律賦予中國武裝力量的神聖職責。堅定不移實行積極防禦軍事戰略，防備和抵抗侵略，遏制分裂勢力，保衛邊防、海防、空防安全，維護國家海洋權益和在太空、網絡空間的安全利益。堅持“人不犯我，我不犯人，人若犯我，我必犯人”，堅決採取一切必要措施維護國家主權和領土完整。

Safeguarding national sovereignty, security and territorial integrity, and supporting the country's peaceful development. This is the goal of China's efforts in strengthening its national defense and the sacred mission of its armed forces, as stipulated in the Constitution of the People's Republic of China and other relevant laws. China's armed forces unswervingly implement the military strategy of active defense, guard against and resist aggression, contain separatist forces, safeguard border, coastal and territorial air security, and protect national maritime rights and interests and national security interests in outer space and cyberspace. "We will not attack unless we are attacked; but we will surely counterattack if attacked." Following this principle, China will resolutely take all necessary measures to safeguard its national sovereignty and territorial integrity.

——立足打贏信息化條件下局部戰爭，拓展和深化軍事鬥爭準備。堅定不移把軍事鬥爭準備基點放在打贏信息化條件下局部戰爭上，統籌推進各戰略方向軍事鬥爭準備，加強軍兵種力量聯合運用，提高基於信息系統的體系作戰能力。創新發展人民戰爭戰略戰術，推進軍民融合式發展，提高國防動員和後備力量建設質量。全面提高日常戰備水平，加強針對性戰備演習演練，周密組織邊海空防戰備巡邏和執勤，妥善應對各種危機和重大突發事件。

Aiming to win local wars under the conditions of informationization and expanding and intensifying military preparedness. China's armed forces firmly base their military preparedness on winning local wars under the conditions of informationization, make overall and coordinated plans to promote military preparedness in all strategic directions, intensify the joint employment of different services and arms, and enhance warfighting capabilities based on information systems. They constantly bring forward new ideas for the strategies and tactics of people's war, advance integrated civilian-military development, and enhance the quality of national defense mobilization and reserve force building. They raise in an all-round way the level of routine combat readiness, intensify scenario-oriented exercises and drills, conduct well-organized border, coastal and territorial air patrols and duties for combat readiness, and handle appropriately various crises and major emergencies.

——樹立綜合安全觀念，有效遂行非戰爭軍事行動任務。適應安全威脅新變化，重視和平時期武裝力量運用。積極參加和支援國家經濟社會建設，堅決完成搶險救災等急難險重任務。依照法律規定履行維護國家安全和穩定職能，堅決打擊敵對勢力顛覆破壞活動，打擊各種暴力恐怖活動，遂行安保警戒任務。加強應急救援、海上護航、撤離海外公民等海外行動能力建設，爲維護國家海外利益提供可靠的安全保障。

Formulating the concept of comprehensive security and effectively conducting military operations other than war (MOOTW). China's armed forces adapt themselves to the new changes of security threats, and emphasize the employment of armed forces in peacetime. They actively participate in and assist China's economic and social development, and resolutely accomplish urgent, difficult, hazardous, and arduous tasks involving emergency rescue and disaster relief. As stipulated by law, they perform their duties of maintaining national security and stability, steadfastly subduing subversive and sabotage attempts by hostile forces, cracking down on violent and terrorist activities, and accomplishing security-provision and guarding tasks. In addition, they strengthen overseas operational capabilities such as emergency response and rescue, merchant vessel protection at sea and evacuation of Chinese nationals, and provide reliable security support for China's interests overseas.

——深化安全合作，履行國際義務。中國武裝力量是國際安全合作的倡導者、推動者和參與者。堅持和平共處五項原則，全方位開展對外軍事交往，發展不結盟、不對抗、不針對第三方的軍事合作關係，推動建立公平有效的集體安全機制和軍事互信機制。堅持開放、務實、合作的理念，深化同各國軍隊的交流與合作，加強邊境地區建立信任措施合作，推進海上安全對話與合作，參加聯合國維和行動、國際反恐合作、國際護航和救災行動，舉行中外聯演聯訓。認真履行應盡的國際責任和義務，爲維護世界和平、安全、穩定發揮積極作用。

Deepening security cooperation and fulfilling international obligations. China's armed forces are the initiator and facilitator of and participant in international security cooperation. They uphold the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence, conduct all-round military exchanges with other countries, and develop cooperative military relations that are non-aligned, non-confrontational and not directed against any third party. They promote the establishment of just and effective collective security mechanisms and military confidence-building mechanisms. Bearing in mind the concept of openness, pragmatism and cooperation, China's armed forces increase their interactions and cooperation with other armed forces, and intensify cooperation on confidence-building measures (CBMs) in border areas. China's armed forces work to promote dialogue and cooperation on maritime security; participate in UN peacekeeping missions, international counter-terrorism cooperation, international merchant shipping protection and disaster relief operations; conduct joint exercises and training with foreign counterparts; conscientiously assume their due international responsibilities; and play an active role in maintaining world peace, security and stability.

——嚴格依法行動，嚴守政策紀律。中國武裝力量遵守憲法和法律，遵守《聯合國憲章》的宗旨和原則，堅持依法用兵、依法行動。嚴格執行法律法規和政策規定，嚴守羣衆紀律，依法完成搶險救災、維穩處突和安保警戒等任務。以《聯合國憲章》和公認的國際關係準則爲依據，堅持在雙邊多邊條約的法律構架內行動，確保涉外軍事行動的合法性。制定和完善法律法規和政策制度，嚴格按照條令條例管理部隊，爲武裝力量多樣化運用提供法律保障。

Acting in accordance with laws, policies and disciplines. China's armed forces observe the country's Constitution and other relevant laws, comply with the purposes and principles of the UN Charter, and maintain their commitment to employing troops and taking actions according to law. They strictly abide by laws, regulations and policies, as well as discipline regarding civil-military relations. According to law, they accomplish such tasks as emergency rescue, disaster relief, stability maintenance, contingency response and security provision. On the basis of the UN Charter and other universally recognized norms of international relations, they consistently operate within the legal framework formed by bilateral or multi-lateral treaties and agreements, so as to ensure the legitimacy of their operations involving foreign countries or militaries. The diversified employment of China's armed forces is legally guaranteed by formulating and revising relevant laws, regulations and policies, and the armed forces are administered strictly by rules and regulations.二、武裝力量建設與發展

II. Building and Development of China's Armed Forces

中國武裝力量由人民解放軍、人民武裝警察部隊、民兵組成，在國家安全和發展戰略全局中具有重要地位和作用，肩負着維護國家主權、安全、發展利益的光榮使命和神聖職責。

China's armed forces are composed of the People's Liberation Army (PLA), the People's Armed Police Force (PAPF) and the militia. They play a significant role in China's overall strategies of security and development, and shoulder the glorious mission and sacred duty of safeguarding national sovereignty, security and development interests.

近年來，人民解放軍按照履行使命任務和信息化建設發展要求，積極穩妥推進軍隊改革。強化軍委總部戰略管理功能，組建人民解放軍戰略規劃部，將總參通信部改編爲信息化部，將總參軍訓和兵種部改編爲軍訓部；推進新型作戰力量建設，調整優化各軍兵種規模結構，改革部隊編組模式，推動作戰力量編成向精幹、聯合、多能、高效方向發展；完善新型軍隊人才培養體系，深化軍事人力資源和後勤政策制度調整改革，加強高新技術武器裝備建設，努力構建中國特色現代軍事力量體系。

Over the years, the PLA has been proactively and steadily pushing forward its reforms in line with the requirements of performing its missions and tasks, and building an informationized military. The PLA has intensified the strategic administration of the Central Military Commission (CMC). It established the PLA Department of Strategic Planning, reorganized the GSH (Headquarters of the General Staff) Communications Department as the GSH Informationization Department, and the GSH Training and Arms Department as the GSH Training Department. The PLA is engaged in the building of new types of combat forces. It optimizes the size and structure of the various services and arms, reforms the organization of the troops so as to make operational forces lean, joint, multi-functional and efficient. The PLA works to improve the training mechanism for military personnel of a new type, adjust policies and rules regarding military human resources and logistics, and strengthen the development of new- and high-technology weaponry and equipment to build a modern military force structure with Chinese characteristics.

陸軍主要擔負陸地作戰任務，包括機動作戰部隊、邊海防部隊、警衛警備部隊等。按照機動作戰、立體攻防的戰略要求，陸軍積極推進由區域防衛型向全域機動型轉變，加快發展陸軍航空兵、輕型機械化部隊和特種作戰部隊，加強數字化部隊建設，逐步實現部隊編成的小型化、模塊化、多能化，提高空地一體、遠程機動、快速突擊和特種作戰能力。陸軍機動作戰部隊包括１８個集團軍和部分獨立合成作戰師（旅），現有８５萬人。集團軍由師、旅編成，分別隸屬於７個軍區。瀋陽軍區下轄第１６、３９、４０集團軍，北京軍區下轄第２７、３８、６５集團軍，蘭州軍區下轄第２１、４７集團軍，濟南軍區下轄第２０、２６、５４集團軍，南京軍區下轄第１、１２、３１集團軍，廣州軍區下轄第４１、４２集團軍，成都軍區下轄第１３、１４集團軍。

The PLA Army (PLAA) is composed of mobile operational units, border and coastal defense units, guard and garrison units, and is primarily responsible for military operations on land. In line with the strategic requirements of mobile operations and multi-dimensional offense and defense, the PLAA has been reoriented from theater defense to trans-theater mobility. It is accelerating the development of army aviation troops, light mechanized units and special operations forces, and enhancing building of digitalized units, gradually making its units small, modular and multi-functional in organization so as to enhance their capabilities for air-ground integrated operations, long-distance maneuvers, rapid assaults and special operations. The PLAA mobile operational units include 18 combined corps, plus additional independent combined operational divisions (brigades), and have a total strength of 850,000. The combined corps, composed of divisions and brigades, are respectively under the seven military area commands (MACs): Shenyang (16th, 39th and 40th Combined Corps), Beijing (27th, 38th and 65th Combined Corps), Lanzhou (21st and 47th Combined Corps), Jinan (20th, 26th and 54th Combined Corps), Nanjing (1st, 12th and 31st Combined Corps), Guangzhou (41st and 42nd Combined Corps) and Chengdu (13th and 14th Combined Corps).

海軍是海上作戰行動的主體力量，擔負着保衛國家海上方向安全、領海主權和維護海洋權益的任務，主要由潛艇部隊、水面艦艇部隊、航空兵、陸戰隊、岸防部隊等兵種組成。按照近海防禦的戰略要求，海軍注重提高近海綜合作戰力量現代化水平，發展先進潛艇、驅逐艦、護衛艦等裝備，完善綜合電子信息系統裝備體系，提高遠海機動作戰、遠海合作與應對非傳統安全威脅能力，增強戰略威懾與反擊能力。海軍現有２３．５萬人，下轄北海、東海和南海３個艦隊，艦隊下轄艦隊航空兵、基地、支隊、水警區、航空兵師和陸戰旅等部隊。２０１２年９月，第一艘航空母艦“遼寧艦”交接入列。中國發展航空母艦，對於建設強大海軍和維護海上安全具有深遠意義。

The PLA Navy (PLAN) is China's mainstay for operations at sea, and is responsible for safeguarding its maritime security and maintaining its sovereignty over its territorial seas along with its maritime rights and interests. The PLAN is composed of the submarine, surface vessel, naval aviation, marine corps and coastal defense arms. In line with the requirements of its offshore defense strategy, the PLAN endeavors to accelerate the modernization of its forces for comprehensive offshore operations, develop advanced submarines, destroyers and frigates, and improve integrated electronic and information systems. Furthermore, it develops blue-water capabilities of conducting mobile operations, carrying out international cooperation, and countering non-traditional security threats, and enhances its capabilities of strategic deterrence and counterattack. Currently, the PLAN has a total strength of 235,000 officers and men, and commands three fleets, namely, the Beihai Fleet, the Donghai Fleet and the Nanhai Fleet. Each fleet has fleet aviation headquarters, support bases, flotillas and maritime garrison commands, as well as aviation divisions and marine brigades. In September 2012, China's first aircraft carrier Liaoning was commissioned into the PLAN. China's development of an aircraft carrier has a profound impact on building a strong PLAN and safeguarding maritime security.

空軍是空中作戰行動的主體力量，擔負着保衛國家領空安全、保持全國空防穩定的任務，主要由航空兵、地面防空兵、雷達兵、空降兵、電子對抗等兵種組成。按照攻防兼備的戰略要求，空軍加強以偵察預警、空中進攻、防空反導、戰略投送爲重點的作戰力量體系建設，發展新一代作戰飛機、新型地空導彈和新型雷達等先進武器裝備，完善預警、指揮和通信網絡，提高戰略預警、威懾和遠程空中打擊能力。空軍現有３９．８萬人，下轄瀋陽、北京、蘭州、濟南、南京、廣州、成都７個軍區空軍和１個空降兵軍。軍區空軍下轄基地、航空兵師（旅）、地空導彈師（旅）、雷達旅等。

The PLA Air Force (PLAAF) is China's mainstay for air operations, responsible for its territorial air security and maintaining a stable air defense posture nationwide. It is primarily composed of aviation, ground air defense, radar, airborne and electronic countermeasures (ECM) arms. In line with the strategic requirements of conducting both offensive and defensive operations, the PLAAF is strengthening the development of a combat force structure that focuses on reconnaissance and early warning, air strike, air and missile defense, and strategic projection. It is developing such advanced weaponry and equipment as new-generation fighters and new-type ground-to-air missiles and radar systems, improving its early warning, command and communications networks, and raising its strategic early warning, strategic deterrence and long-distance air strike capabilities. The PLAAF now has a total strength of 398,000 officers and men, and an air command in each of the seven Military Area Commands (MACs) of Shenyang, Beijing, Lanzhou, Jinan, Nanjing, Guangzhou and Chengdu. In addition, it commands one airborne corps. Under each air command are bases, aviation divisions (brigades), ground-to-air missile divisions (brigades), radar brigades and other units.

第二炮兵是中國戰略威懾的核心力量，主要擔負遏制他國對中國使用核武器、遂行核反擊和常規導彈精確打擊任務，由核導彈部隊、常規導彈部隊、作戰保障部隊等組成。按照精幹有效的原則，第二炮兵加快推進信息化轉型，依靠科技進步推動武器裝備自主創新，利用成熟技術有重點、有選擇改進現有裝備，提高導彈武器的安全性、可靠性、有效性，完善核常兼備的力量體系，增強快速反應、有效突防、精確打擊、綜合毀傷和生存防護能力，戰略威懾與核反擊、常規精確打擊能力穩步提升。第二炮兵下轄導彈基地、訓練基地、專業保障部隊、院校和科研機構等，目前裝備東風系列彈道導彈和長劍巡航導彈。

The PLA Second Artillery Force (PLASAF) is a core force for China's strategic deterrence. It is mainly composed of nuclear and conventional missile forces and operational support units, primarily responsible for deterring other countries from using nuclear weapons against China, and carrying out nuclear counterattacks and precision strikes with conventional missiles. Following the principle of building a lean and effective force, the PLASAF is striving to push forward its informationization transform, relying on scientific and technological progress to boost independent innovations in weaponry and equipment, modernizing current equipment selectively by applying mature technology, enhancing the safety, reliability and effectiveness of its missiles, improving its force structure of having both nuclear and conventional missiles, strengthening its rapid reaction, effective penetration, precision strike, damage infliction, protection and survivability capabilities. The PLASAF capabilities of strategic deterrence, nuclear counterattack and conventional precision strike are being steadily elevated. The PLASAF has under its command missile bases, training bases, specialized support units, academies and research institutions. It has a series of "Dong Feng" ballistic missiles and "Chang Jian" cruise missiles.

武警部隊平時主要擔負執勤、處置突發事件、反恐怖、參加和支援國家經濟建設等任務，戰時配合人民解放軍進行防衛作戰。武警部隊依託國家信息基礎設施，建立完善從總部至基層中隊的三級綜合信息網絡系統，發展部隊遂行任務急需的武器裝備，開展針對性訓練，提高執勤、處置突發事件、反恐怖能力。武警部隊由內衛部隊和警種部隊組成，內衛部隊包括省（自治區、直轄市）總隊和機動師，警種部隊包括黃金、森林、水電、交通部隊，公安邊防、消防、警衛部隊列入武警序列。

In peacetime, the PAPF's main tasks include performing guard duties, dealing with emergencies, combating terrorism and participating in and supporting national economic development. In wartime, it is tasked with assisting the PLA in defensive operations. Based on the national information infrastructure, the PAPF has built a three-level comprehensive information network from PAPF general headquarters down to squadrons. It develops task-oriented weaponry and equipment and conducts scenario-based training so as to improve its guard-duty, emergency-response and counter-terrorism capabilities. The PAPF is composed of the internal security force and other specialized forces. The internal security force is composed of contingents at the level of province (autonomous region or municipality directly under the central government) and mobile divisions. Specialized PAPF forces include those guarding gold mines, forests, hydroelectric projects and transportation facilities. The border public security, firefighting and security guard forces are also components of the PAPF.

民兵是不脫產的羣衆武裝組織，是人民解放軍的助手和後備力量。民兵擔負參加社會主義現代化建設、執行戰備勤務、參加防衛作戰、協助維護社會秩序和參加搶險救災等任務。民兵建設注重調整規模結構，改善武器裝備，推進訓練改革，提高以支援保障打贏信息化條件下局部戰爭能力爲核心的完成多樣化軍事任務能力。民兵組織分爲基幹民兵組織和普通民兵組織。基幹民兵組織編有應急隊伍，聯合防空、情報偵察、通信保障、工程搶修、交通運輸、裝備維修等支援隊伍，以及作戰保障、後勤保障、裝備保障等儲備隊伍。

The militia is an armed organization composed of the people not released from their regular work. As an assistant and backup force of the PLA, the militia is tasked with participating in the socialist modernization drive, performing combat readiness support and defensive operations, helping maintain social order and participating in emergency rescue and disaster relief operations. The militia focuses on optimizing its size and structure, improving its weaponry and equipment, and pushing forward reforms in training so as to enhance its capabilities of supporting diversified military operations, of which the core is to win local wars in informationized conditions. The militia falls into two categories: primary and general. The primary militia has emergency response detachments; supporting detachments such as joint air defense, intelligence, reconnaissance, communications support, engineering rush-repair, transportation and equipment repair; and reserve units for combat, logistics and equipment support.三、捍衛國家主權、安全、領土完整

II. Defending National Sovereignty, Security and Territorial Integrity

中國武裝力量的根本任務，是鞏固國防、抵抗侵略、保衛祖國。中國武裝力量的多樣化運用，堅持以國家核心安全需求爲導向，着眼維護和平、遏制危機和打贏戰爭，保衛邊防、海防、空防安全，加強戰備工作和實戰化演習演練，隨時應對和堅決制止一切危害國家主權、安全、領土完整的挑釁行爲，堅決維護國家核心利益。

The fundamental tasks of China's armed forces are consolidating national defense, resisting foreign aggression and defending the motherland. Responding to China's core security needs, the diversified employment of the armed forces aims to maintain peace, contain crises and win wars; safeguard border, coastal and territorial air security; strengthen combat-readiness and warfighting-oriented exercises and drills; readily respond to and resolutely deter any provocative action which undermines China's sovereignty, security and territorial integrity; and firmly safeguard China's core national interests.

保衛邊海防安全

Safeguarding Border and Coastal Security

中國有２．２萬多公里陸地邊界和１．８萬多公里大陸海岸線，是世界上鄰國最多、陸地邊界最長的國家之一。中國有５００平方米以上的島嶼６５００多個，島嶼岸線１．４萬多公里。中國武裝力量對陸地邊界和管轄海域實施防衛、管轄，維護邊海防安全的任務複雜繁重。

With a borderline of more than 22,000 km and a coastline of more than 18,000 km, China is one of the countries with the most neighbors and the longest land borders. Among all China's islands, more than 6,500 are larger than 500 square meters each. China's island coastline is over 14,000 km long. China's armed forces defend and exercise jurisdiction over China's land borders and sea areas, and the task of safeguarding border and coastal security is arduous and complicated.

陸軍邊海防部隊駐守在邊境、沿海地區及海上島嶼，擔負着守衛國（邊）界、沿海海岸和島嶼，抵禦防範外敵入侵、蠶食、挑釁，以及協助打擊恐怖破壞、跨境犯罪等防衛與管理任務。邊海防部隊堅持以戰備執勤爲中心，強化邊境沿海地區重要方向和敏感地段、水道、海域防衛警戒，嚴密防範各類入侵、蠶食和越境滲透破壞活動，及時制止違反邊海防政策法規和改變國界線現狀的行爲，適時開展軍地聯合管控、應急處突等行動，有效維護邊境沿海地區的安全穩定。中國已與周邊７個國家簽訂邊防合作協議，與１２個國家建立邊防會談會晤機制。人民解放軍邊防部隊與俄羅斯、哈薩克斯坦、蒙古、越南等國邊防部門開展聯合巡邏執勤、聯合管控演練等友好合作活動。與哈薩克斯坦、吉爾吉斯斯坦、俄羅斯、塔吉克斯坦等國每年組織相互視察活動，監督和核查邊境地區信任措施落實情況。

The border and coastal defense forces of the PLAA are stationed in border and coastal areas, and on islands. They are responsible for defense and administrative tasks such as safeguarding the national borders, coastlines and islands, resisting and guarding against foreign invasions, encroachments and provocations, and assisting in cracking down on terrorist sabotage and cross-border crimes. The border and coastal defense forces focus on combat-readiness duties, strengthen the defense and surveillance of major directions and sensitive areas, watercourses and sea areas in border and coastal regions, maintain a rigorous guard against any invasion, encroachment or cross-border sabotage, prevent in a timely fashion any violation of border and coastal policies, laws and regulations and changes to the current borderlines, carry out civil-military joint control and management, and emergency response missions promptly, and effectively safeguard the security and stability of the borders and coastal areas.

China has signed border cooperation agreements with seven neighboring countries, and established mechanisms with 12 countries for border defense talks and meetings. The border and coastal defense forces of the PLA promote friendly cooperation in joint patrols, guard duties and joint control-management drills with their counterparts of Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Vietnam, respectively. They also organize annual mutual inspections to supervise and verify the implementation of confidence-building measures in border areas with Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan.

海軍加強海區的控制與管理，建立完善體系化巡邏機制，有效掌握周邊海域情況，嚴密防範各類竄擾和滲透破壞活動，及時處置各種海空情況和突發事件。推進海上安全合作，維護海洋和平與穩定、海上航行自由與安全。在中美海上軍事安全磋商機制框架下，定期開展海上信息交流，避免發生海上意外事件。根據中越簽署的北部灣海域聯合巡邏協議，兩國海軍從２００６年起每年組織兩次聯合巡邏。

The PLAN strengthens maritime control and management, systematically establishes patrol mechanisms, effectively enhances situational awareness in surrounding sea areas, tightly guards against various types of harassment, infiltration and sabotage activities, and copes promptly with maritime and air incidents and emergencies. It advances maritime security cooperation, and maintains maritime peace and stability, as well as free and safe navigation.

保衛空防安全

Safeguarding Territorial Air Security

空軍是保衛國家空防安全的主體力量，陸軍、海軍和武警部隊按照中央軍委的指示擔負部分空防任務。平時，國家防空實行空軍—軍區空軍—防空部隊指揮體制，空軍根據中央軍委意圖對擔負防空任務的各種防空力量實施統一指揮。中國空防體系由偵察監視、指揮控制、空中防禦、地面防空、綜合保障和人民防空六大系統組成。中國已建成集偵察預警、抗擊、反擊和防護於一體的空防力量體系，具有以各種對空探測雷達和預警機爲主體，以技術偵察、電子對抗偵察爲補充的空情獲取手段；以殲擊機、殲擊轟炸機、地空導彈、高炮部隊爲主體，以陸軍防空兵、民兵預備役防空力量和人民防空力量爲補充的抗擊手段；以各種防護工程和防護力量爲主體，以專業技術防護力量爲補充的綜合防護手段。

The PLAAF is the mainstay of national territorial air defense, and in accordance with the instructions of the CMC, the PLAA, PLAN and PAPF all undertake some territorial air defense responsibilities. In peacetime, the chain of command of China's air defense runs from the PLAAF headquarters through the air commands of the military area commands to air defense units. The PLAAF exercises unified command over all air defense components in accordance with the CMC's intent. China's air defense system is composed of six sub-systems of reconnaissance and surveillance, command and control, aerial defense, ground air defense, integrated support and civil air defense. China has established an air defense force system that integrates reconnaissance and early warning, resistance, counterattack and protection. For air situation awareness means, air detection radars and early warning aircraft are the mainstay, supplemented by technical and ECM reconnaissance. For resistance means, fighters, fighter-bombers, ground-to-air missiles and antiaircraft artillery troops are the mainstay, supplemented by the strengths from the PLAA air defense force, militia and reserves, as well as civil air defense. For integrated protection means, various protection works and strengths are the mainstay, supplemented by specialized technical protection forces.

空軍日常防空基本活動，主要是組織偵察預警力量，監視國家領空及周邊地區空中動態，隨時掌握各種空中安全威脅；組織各級指揮機構，保持以首都爲核心、以邊境沿海一線爲重點的常態化戰備值班，隨時指揮各種空防力量行動；組織日常防空戰鬥值班兵力，進行海上空域警巡、邊境反偵察和境內查證處置異常不明空情；組織航空管制系統，監控飛行活動，維護空中秩序，保障飛行安全。

The PLAAF organizes the following routine air defense tasks: reconnaissance and early warning units are tasked with monitoring air situations in China's territorial air space and surrounding areas and keeping abreast of air security threats. Command organs at all levels are tasked with assuming routine combat readiness duties with the capital as the core, and border and coastal areas as the key, and commanding air defense operations at all times. Routine air defense troops on combat duty are tasked with carrying out air vigilance and patrols at sea, conducting counter-reconnaissance in border areas and verifying abnormal and unidentified air situations within the territory. The air control system is tasked with monitoring, controlling and maintaining air traffic order so as to ensure flight safety.

保持常備不懈的戰備狀態

Maintaining Constant Combat Readiness

戰備工作是軍隊爲執行作戰和非戰爭軍事行動任務而進行的準備和戒備活動，是軍隊全局性、綜合性、經常性的工作。提高戰備水平，保持常備不懈的戰備狀態，是有效應對多種安全威脅、完成多樣化軍事任務的重要保證。人民解放軍建立正規的戰備秩序，加強戰備基礎性建設，搞好針對性戰備演練，周密組織戰備值班和邊海空防巡邏執勤，隨時準備執行作戰和非戰爭軍事行動任務。部隊根據執行任務需要進入等級戰備，戰備等級按照戒備程度由低級到高級分爲三級戰備、二級戰備、一級戰備。

Combat readiness refers to the preparations and alert activities of the armed forces for undertaking operational tasks and MOOTW, and it is the general, comprehensive and regular work of the armed forces. It is an important guarantee for coping with various security threats and accomplishing diversified military tasks to enhance the capabilities of combat readiness and maintain constant combat readiness. The PLA has a regular system of combat readiness. It improves infrastructure for combat readiness, carries out scenario-oriented drills, and earnestly organizes alert duties, border, coastal and air defense patrols and guard duties. It keeps itself prepared for undertaking operational tasks and MOOTW at all times. Based on different tasks, the troops assume different levels of readiness (Level III, Level II and Level I, from the lowest degree of alertness to the highest).

陸軍部隊的日常戰備，以維護邊境正常秩序和鞏固國家建設成果爲重點，依託作戰指揮機構和指揮信息系統，加強戰備值班要素整合，探索戰區聯合值班模式，推進團以上作戰部隊戰備值班系統綜合整治，以常態化運行的體制機制保證戰備工作落實，形成各戰略方向銜接、多兵種聯合、作戰保障配套的戰備力量體系佈局，始終保持迅即能動和有效應對的良好狀態。海軍部隊的日常戰備，以維護國家領土主權和海洋權益爲重點，按照高效用兵、體系巡邏、全域監控的原則，組織和實施常態化戰備巡邏，在相關海域保持軍事存在。各艦隊常年保持必要數量艦艇在轄區內巡邏，加強航空兵偵察巡邏，並根據需要組織機動兵力在相關海域巡邏警戒。空軍部隊的日常戰備，以國土防空爲重點，堅持平戰一體、全域反應、全疆到達的原則，保持靈敏高效的戰備狀態。組織常態化空中警戒巡邏，及時查證異常不明空情。空軍指揮警戒值班系統以空軍指揮所爲核心，部隊指揮所爲基礎，以航空兵、地面防空兵等戰鬥值班兵力爲支撐。

The routine combat readiness work of the PLAA serves to maintain normal order in border areas and protect national development achievements. Relying on the operational command organs and command information system, it strengthens the integration of combat readiness duty elements, explores joint duty probability within a theater, and optimizes the combat readiness duty system in operational troops at and above the regiment level. It ensures the implementation of combat readiness work through institutionalized systems and mechanisms. It creates a combat readiness system with inter-connected strategic directions, combined arms and systematized operational support. Thus, the PLAA keeps sound combat readiness with agile maneuvers and effective response. The routine combat readiness work of the PLAN serves to safeguard national territorial sovereignty and maritime rights and interests. It carries out diversified patrols and provides whole-area surveillance in a cost-effective way. The PLAN organizes and performs regular combat readiness patrols, and maintains a military presence in relevant sea areas. All fleets maintain the necessary number of ships patrolling in areas under their respective command, beef up naval aviation reconnaissance patrols, and organize mobile forces to conduct patrols and surveillance in relevant sea areas, as required. The PLAAF focuses its daily combat readiness on territorial air defense. It follows the principles of applicability in both peacetime and wartime, all-dimension response and full territorial reach, and maintains a vigilant and efficient combat readiness. It organizes air alert patrols on a regular basis to verify abnormal and unidentified air situations promptly. The PLAAF command alert system takes PLAAF command posts as the core, field command posts as the basis, and aviation and ground air defense forces on combat duty as the pillar.

第二炮兵平時保持適度戒備狀態，按照平戰結合、常備不懈、隨時能戰的原則，加強戰備配套建設，構建要素集成、功能完備、靈敏高效的作戰值班體系，確保部隊應急反應迅速，有效應對戰爭威脅和突發事件。在國家受到核威脅時，核導彈部隊根據中央軍委命令，提升戒備狀態，做好核反擊準備，懾止敵人對中國使用核武器；在國家遭受核襲擊時，使用導彈核武器，獨立或聯合其他軍種核力量，對敵實施堅決反擊。常規導彈部隊能夠快速完成平戰轉換，遂行常規中遠程精確打擊任務。

參加搶險救災

Participating in Emergency Rescue and Disaster Relief

中國是世界上自然災害最爲嚴重的國家之一，災害種類多，分佈地域廣，發生頻率高，給國家經濟建設和人民羣衆生命財產安全帶來嚴重危害。中國武裝力量始終是搶險救災的突擊力量，承擔最緊急、最艱難、最危險的救援任務。依據２００５年頒佈的《軍隊參加搶險救災條例》，軍隊和武警部隊主要擔負解救、轉移或者疏散受困人員，保護重要目標安全，搶救、運送重要物資，參加道路（橋樑、隧道）搶修、海上搜救、核生化救援、疫情控制、醫療救護等專業搶險，排除或者控制其他危重險情、災情，協助地方人民政府開展災後重建工作等任務。

China is one of the countries most vulnerable to natural disasters. With more varieties, wide distribution and high frequency, natural disasters endanger China's economic and social development as well as the lives and property of many Chinese people.

The armed forces of China have always acted as the shock force in emergency rescue and disaster relief, and always undertaken the most urgent, arduous and hazardous rescue tasks.

According to the Regulations on the PLA's Participation in Disaster Rescue promulgated in 2005, the PLA and PAPF are mainly tasked with rescuing and evacuating the trapped; ensuring the security of important facilities and areas; salvaging and transporting important materials; participating in specialized operations such as rush repairs of roads, bridges and tunnels, maritime search and rescue, NBC rescue, epidemic control, and medical aid; eliminating or controlling other major dangers and disasters; and assisting local governments in post-disaster reconstruction.

軍隊和武警部隊與各級人民政府建立完善應對自然災害軍地協調聯動機制，建成戰略級移動應急指揮平臺，在重點地區預儲預置搶險救災急需物資器材，編制修訂團以上部隊搶險救災應急預案，組織軍地搶險救災聯訓聯演，全面提高搶險救災能力。目前，已組建抗洪搶險應急部隊、地震災害緊急救援隊、核生化應急救援隊、空中緊急運輸服務隊、交通電力應急搶險隊、海上應急搜救隊、應急機動通信保障隊、醫療防疫救援隊、氣象保障應急專業隊等９類５萬人的國家級應急專業力量。各軍區會同有關省（自治區、直轄市），依託現役和預備役部隊組建４．５萬人的省級應急專業力量。

The PLA, PAPF and people's governments at various levels have established military-civilian joint response mechanisms for natural disasters, set up a mobile command platform for emergency response at the strategic level, pre-stored and pre-positioned in key areas materials and equipment urgently needed for emergency rescue and disaster relief, worked out relevant scenarios for units at and above the regiment level, and organized joint military-civilian exercises and training, thereby enhancing their capabilities for emergency rescue and disaster relief in all respects.

So far, China has formed nine state-level professional teams, with a total membership of 50,000.

They are emergency-response teams for flood relief, earthquake rescue, NBC defense, emergency airlift, rush repair of transportation and power facilities, maritime search and rescue, mobile communications support, medical aid and epidemic prevention, and meteorological support. In collaboration with relevant provinces (autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government) and based on active and reserve forces, all MACs have joined to set up professional emergency-rescue units at the provincial level, totaling 45,000 members.

中國武裝力量在歷次重大搶險救災中，都發揮了生力軍和突擊隊作用。２００８年，出動１２６萬名官兵和民兵預備役人員抗擊南方嚴重低溫雨雪冰凍災害，２２．１萬人參加四川汶川特大地震抗震救災。２０１０年，投入２．１萬人參加青海玉樹強烈地震抗震救災，１．２萬人參加甘肅舟曲特大山洪泥石流災害搶險救援。２０１１年以來，軍隊和武警部隊共出動兵力３７萬人，各型車輛（機械）１９．７萬臺次、飛機和直升機２２５架次，組織民兵預備役人員８７萬人，參加抗洪、抗震、抗旱、防凌、防颱風和滅火等搶險救災行動，搶救轉移羣衆２４５萬人，搶運物資１６萬噸。陸軍航空兵直升機每年出動數百架次擔負森林和草原防火、救火任務，並實現常態化。

In all major emergency-rescue and disaster-relief operations, China's armed forces have always played a vital role.

In 2008, some 1.26 million officers and men as well as militia members were sent to counter the disaster of freezing weather, sleet and snowstorms in southern China, and 221,000 to participate in rescue after the devastating earthquake in Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province. In 2010, some 21,000 and 12,000 armed forces members were dispatched respectively to take part in rescue after the Yushu (Qinghai Province) earthquake and the Zhouqu (Gansu Province) mud-rock slide.

Since 2011, the PLA and PAPF have contributed a total of 370,000 servicepersons and 197,000 vehicles or other machines of various types, flown over 225 sorties (using fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters), organized 870,000 militiamen and reservists, participated in emergency-rescue and disaster-relief operations in cases of floods, earthquakes, droughts, ice jams, typhoons and fires, rescued or evacuated more than 2.45 million people, and rushed 160,000 tons of goods to disaster areas.

Every year, the army aviation flies hundreds of sorties to prevent and fight forest and grassland fires on a regular basis.

維護社會穩定

Maintaining Social Stability

中國武裝力量依照法律法規參加維護社會秩序行動，防範和打擊恐怖活動。武警部隊是國家處置公共突發事件、維護社會穩定的骨幹和突擊力量。２００９年８月頒佈實施的《中華人民共和國人民武裝警察法》，明確了武警部隊執行安全保衛任務的範圍、措施和保障辦法。武警部隊構建以機動兵力爲主體、以執勤部隊抽組兵力爲補充、以警種部隊和院校兵力爲支援的處突維穩力量體系，完善以國家級反恐隊、省級特勤中隊、市級特勤排、縣級應急班爲主體的四級反恐力量體系。紮實做好重大活動安保工作，嚴格執行現場警衛、人員安檢、重要目標守衛、要道設卡和城市武裝巡邏等任務。２０１１─２０１２年，有效應對和處置各類突發事件，配合公安機關成功處置多起暴力恐怖襲擊事件，參與處置劫持人質等嚴重暴力事件６８起，解救人質６２人。先後完成第２６屆世界大學生夏季運動會、中國—亞歐博覽會、上海合作組織北京峯會等重大活動安保任務，累計用兵１６０多萬人次。

In accordance with relevant laws and regulations, the armed forces of China participate in social order maintenance, and guard and fight against terrorist activities.

The PAPF is the state's backbone and shock force in handling public emergencies and maintaining social stability.

The Law of the People's Republic of China on the People's Armed Police Force, promulgated in August 2009, specifies the scope, measures and support of PAPF security missions.

With mobile PAPF troops as the mainstay, supplemented by forces pooled from routine duty units, and supported by various police forces and PAPF academies, the PAPF has established a force structure for stability maintenance and emergency response.

In addition, a counter-terrorism force structure has been set up, which consists of a counter-terrorism contingent, special-duty squadrons, special-duty platoons and emergency-response squads at state, province, municipality and county levels, respectively. Solid steps have been taken to implement strict security measures for major events, including guard duties, security checks, security of important facilities and areas, checkpoints on major roads, and armed urban patrols. From 2011 to 2012, the PAPF effectively responded to and handled various emergencies, coordinated with public security organs to successfully handle some violent and terrorist attacks, and participated in handling 68 incidents of serious violence, and rescuing 62 hostages.

Altogether contributing more than 1.6 million persons, the PAPF has provided security for such important events as the 26th Summer Universiade (Shenzhen, 2011), China-Eurasia Expo (Urumqi, 2011) and Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Beijing Summit (2012).

人民解放軍派出相關力量協助公安、武警部隊完成重大活動安保任務。陸軍主要承擔防範恐怖活動、核化生爆檢測、醫療救援等任務，海軍主要承擔排除水域安全隱患、防範來自海上恐怖襲擊等任務，空軍主要承擔保衛重大活動舉辦地和周邊地區空中安全等任務。近年來，人民解放軍先後參加北京奧運會、國慶６０週年慶典、上海世博會、廣州亞運會等重大活動的安保行動，共出動兵力１４．５萬人，動用飛機和直升機３６５架、艦船１４８艘、雷達５５４部。

The PLA also assists public security and PAPF forces in providing security for major events. The PLAA is mainly tasked with counter-terrorism, NBC and explosive item checks, and medical aid.

The PLAN is mainly responsible for guarding against potential maritime threats and terrorist attacks. The PLAAF is mainly charged with providing air security for major event venues and their adjacent areas. In recent years, contributing 145,000 servicepersons, 365 fixed-wing aircraft and helicopters, 148 ships and 554 sets of radar equipment, the PLA provided security for the Beijing Olympics, celebrations of the PRC's 60th founding anniversary, Shanghai World Expo and Guangzhou Asian Games.

民兵是維護社會穩定的一支重要力量，按照法律規定協助維護社會秩序，在地方黨委、政府的統一部署和軍事機關的指揮下，參加治安聯防、社會管理綜合治理、重大活動安保等行動。每年有９萬多人執行守護橋樑、隧道和鐵路線等任務。

The militia is an important force for maintaining social stability. It assists in the maintenance of social order in accordance with laws and regulations.

Under the unified arrangements of local CPC committees and governments as well as the guidance of corresponding military organs, the militia participates in joint defense of public security, integrated social management, and security provision for major events. Each year, more than 90,000 militiamen carry out the task of guarding bridges, tunnels and railways.

駐香港、澳門部隊是中央人民政府派駐香港、澳門特別行政區的部隊，依法履行防務職責。香港、澳門駐軍法規定，特區政府在必要時可以向中央人民政府請求駐軍協助維持社會治安和救助災害。駐香港、澳門部隊適時組織聯合海空巡邏和年度演習演練活動，參與特區政府組織的海上空難搜救聯合演習，圓滿完成北京奧運會香港賽區及香港、澳門迴歸慶典活動安保任務。

Hong Kong and Macao garrison troops are dispatched by the central government to the two special administrative regions (SARs) to perform defense duties according to law.

As stipulated by the garrison laws, the governments of Hong Kong and Macao SARs may, if necessary, request the central government for the assistance of the garrison troops in maintaining social order and providing disaster relief.

Hong Kong and Macao garrison troops organize joint air-sea patrols, conduct annual exercises and drills, and participate in joint exercises held by the SAR governments for air-sea search and rescue operations.

They succeeded in providing security for the Hong Kong venue of the Beijing Olympics (2008) and anniversary celebrations of the SARs' returning to the motherland.

維護海洋權益

V. Safeguarding Maritime Rights and Interests

中國是陸海兼備的大國，海洋是中國實現可持續發展的重要空間和資源保障，關係人民福祉，關乎國家未來。開發、利用和保護海洋，建設海洋強國，是國家重要發展戰略。堅決維護國家海洋權益，是人民解放軍的重要職責。

China is a major maritime as well as land country. The seas and oceans provide immense space and abundant resources for China's sustainable development, and thus are of vital importance to the people's wellbeing and China's future.

It is an essential national development strategy to exploit, utilize and protect the seas and oceans, and build China into a maritime power. It is an important duty for the PLA to resolutely safeguard China's maritime rights and interests.

海軍結合日常戰備爲國家海上執法、漁業生產和油氣開發等活動提供安全保障，分別與海監、漁政等執法部門建立協調配合機制，建立完善軍警民聯防機制。協同地方有關部門開展海洋測繪與科學調查，建設海洋氣象監測、衛星導航、無線電導航及助航標誌系統，及時發佈氣象和船舶航行等相關信息，建立和完善管轄海域內的航行安全保障體系。

In combination with its routine combat readiness activities, the PLAN provides security support for China's maritime law enforcement, fisheries, and oil and gas exploitation. It has established mechanisms to coordinate and cooperate with law-enforcement organs of marine surveillance and fishery administration, as well as a joint military-police-civilian defense mechanism.

Further, the PLAN has worked in coordination with relevant local departments to conduct maritime survey and scientific investigation; build systems of maritime meteorological observation, satellite navigation, radio navigation and navigation aids; release timely weather and sea traffic information; and ensure the safe flow of traffic in sea areas of responsibility.

海軍與海監、漁政部門多次舉行海上聯合維權執法演習演練，不斷提高軍地海上聯合維權鬥爭指揮協同和應急處置能力。２０１２年１０月，在東海海域舉行“東海協作—２０１２”海上聯合維權演習，共有１１艘艦船、８架飛機參演。

Together with the marine surveillance and fishery administration departments, the PLAN has conducted joint maritime exercises and drills for protecting rights and enforcing laws, and enhanced its capabilities to coordinate command and respond to emergencies in joint military-civilian operations to safeguard maritime rights.

The "Donghai Collaboration-2012" joint exercise was held in the East China Sea in October 2012, involving 11 ships and eight planes.

公安邊防部隊作爲海上重要武裝執法力量，對發生在我國內水、領海、毗連區、專屬經濟區和大陸架違反公安行政管理法律、法規、規章的違法行爲或者涉嫌犯罪的行爲行使管轄權。近年來，公安邊防部隊大力開展平安海區建設，加強北部灣海上邊界和西沙海域巡邏監管，有效維護了海上治安穩定。

As an important armed maritime law-enforcement body, the border public security force exercises jurisdiction over both violations of laws, rules and regulations relating to public security administration and suspected crimes committed in China's internal waters, territorial seas, contiguous zones, exclusive economic zones and continental shelf.

In recent years, the border public security force has endeavored to guarantee the security of sea areas, strengthened patrols, surveillance and management along the sea boundary in the Beibu Gulf and around the Xisha sea areas, and effectively maintained maritime public order and stability.

維護海外利益

Protecting Overseas Interests

隨着中國經濟逐步融入世界經濟體系，海外利益已經成爲中國國家利益的重要組成部分，海外能源資源、海上戰略通道以及海外公民、法人的安全問題日益凸顯。開展海上護航、撤離海外公民、應急救援等海外行動，成爲人民解放軍維護國家利益和履行國際義務的重要方式。

With the gradual integration of China's economy into the world economic system, overseas interests have become an integral component of China's national interests.

Security issues are increasingly prominent, involving overseas energy and resources, strategic sea lines of communication (SLOCs), and Chinese nationals and legal persons overseas.

Vessel protection at sea, evacuation of Chinese nationals overseas, and emergency rescue have become important ways and means for the PLA to safeguard national interests and fulfill China's international obligations.

根據聯合國安理會有關決議並經索馬里過渡聯邦政府同意，中國政府於２００８年１２月２６日派遣海軍艦艇編隊赴亞丁灣、索馬里海域實施護航。主要任務是保護中國航經該海域的船舶、人員安全，保護世界糧食計劃署等國際組織運送人道主義物資船舶的安全，並儘可能爲航經該海域的外國船舶提供安全掩護。截至２０１２年１２月，共派出１３批３４艘次艦艇、２８架次直升機、９１０名特戰隊員，完成５３２批４９８４艘中外船舶護航任務，其中中國大陸１５１０艘、香港地區９４０艘、臺灣地區７４艘、澳門地區１艘；營救遭海盜登船襲擊的中國船舶２艘，解救被海盜追擊的中國船舶２２艘。

In line with the relevant resolutions of the United Nations Security Council (UNSC), and with the consent of the Transitional Federal Government of Somalia, the Chinese government dispatched a combined naval task force to conduct escort operations in the Gulf of Aden and waters off Somalia on December 26, 2008.

The combined Chinese task forces are mainly charged with safeguarding the security of Chinese ships and personnel traversing those waters and the security of ships delivering humanitarian supplies for the World Food Programme (WFP) and other international organizations, and sheltering passing foreign vessels as far as possible.

As of December 2012, the Chinese Navy has dispatched, in 13 task groups, 34 warships, 28 helicopters, and 910 Special Operations Force (SOF) soldiers, escorting 4,984 ships in 532 batches. Among them, 1,510 were Chinese mainland ships, 940 Hong Kong ships, 74 Taiwan ships and one Macao ship. The task forces also rescued two Chinese ships from pirates who had boarded them and 22 which were being chased by pirates.

２０１１年２月，利比亞局勢急劇動盪，在利比亞的中資機構、企業和人員面臨重大安全威脅。中國政府組織了新中國成立以來最大規模的撤離海外公民行動，共撤出３５８６０人。人民解放軍派出艦艇、飛機協助在利比亞人員回國。海軍執行亞丁灣、索馬里海域護航任務的“徐州”號導彈護衛艦赴利比亞附近海域，爲撤離中國受困人員的船舶提供支援和保護。空軍緊急出動飛機４架，共飛行４０架次，協助１６５５名受困人員（含２４０名尼泊爾人）從利比亞轉移至蘇丹，接運２８７人從蘇丹回國。

In February 2011, the turbulent situation in Libya posed grave security threats to Chinese institutions, enterprises and nationals in that country.

The Chinese government organized the largest overseas evacuation since the founding of the PRC, and 35,860 Chinese nationals were taken home. The PLA contributed ships and aircraft to the effort. The Chinese Navy' s frigate Xuzhou, on escort mission in the Gulf of Aden and waters off Somalia at that time, sailed to the waters off Libya and provided support for ships evacuating Chinese nationals stranded there. The PLAAF sent four aircraft at short notice, flew 40 sorties, evacuated 1,655 people (including 240 Nepalese) from Libya to Sudan, and took 287 Chinese nationals from Sudan back home.五、維護世界和平和地區穩定

Safeguarding World Peace and Regional Stability

中國的安全和發展與世界的和平繁榮息息相關。中國武裝力量始終是維護世界和平和地區穩定的堅定力量，致力於同各國加強軍事合作、增進軍事互信，參與地區和國際安全事務，在國際政治和安全領域發揮積極作用。

China's security and development are closely connected with the peace and prosperity of the world as a whole. China's armed forces have always been a staunch force upholding world peace and regional stability, and will continue to increase cooperation and mutual trust with the armed forces of other countries, participate in regional and international security affairs, and play an active role in international political and security fields.

參加聯合國維和行動

Participating in UN Peacekeeping Operations

中國認真履行國際責任和義務，支持並積極參加聯合國維和行動。根據聯合國決議和中國政府與聯合國達成的協議，中國派出維和部隊和維和軍事專業人員，進駐指定國家或地區，在聯合國主導下組織實施維和行動，主要承擔監督停火、隔離衝突和工程、運輸、醫療保障以及參與社會重建和人道主義援助等任務。

China earnestly fulfills its international responsibilities and obligations, and supports and actively participates in UN peacekeeping missions.

In accordance with UN resolutions as well as agreements between the Chinese government and the UN, China dispatches peacekeeping troops and specialized peacekeeping personnel to designated countries or regions, who carry out peacekeeping operations under the auspices of the UN.

They are mainly tasked with monitoring ceasefires, disengaging conflicting parties, providing engineering, transportation and medical support, and participating in social reconstruction and humanitarian assistance.

１９９０年，人民解放軍向聯合國中東維和任務區派遣５名軍事觀察員，首次參加聯合國維和行動。１９９２年，向聯合國柬埔寨維和任務區派出４００人的工程兵大隊，首次派遣成建制部隊。迄今爲止，人民解放軍共參加２３項聯合國維和行動，累計派出維和軍事人員２．２萬人次。中國參加維和行動的所有官兵均被授予聯合國和平勳章，有３名軍官和６名士兵在執行維和任務中犧牲，被授予聯合國哈馬舍爾德勳章。目前，中國是聯合國安理會５個常任理事國中派遣維和軍事人員最多的國家，是聯合國１１５個維和出兵國中派出工兵、運輸和醫療等保障分隊最多的國家，是繳納維和攤款最多的發展中國家。

In 1990, the PLA sent five military observers to the UN Truce Supervision Organization (UNTSO) - the first time China had taken part in UN peacekeeping missions.

In 1992, it dispatched an engineering corps of 400 officers and men to the UN Transitional Authority in Cambodia (UNTAC) - the first time China had sent an organic military unit on a peacekeeping mission.

To date, the PLA has dispatched 22,000 military personnel to 23 UN peacekeeping missions. All of them have been awarded the UN peace medals. Three officers and six soldiers have laid down their lives performing such duties and were posthumously awarded the Dag Hammarskjold medal. So far, China is the biggest troop and police contributor among the five permanent members of the UN Security Council.

It also dispatches the most numbers of troops for engineering, transportation and medical support among all the 115 contributing countries. China pays and contributes the largest share of UN peacekeeping costs among all developing countries.

截至２０１２年１２月，人民解放軍有１８４２名官兵在９個聯合國任務區遂行維和任務。其中，軍事觀察員和參謀軍官７８人，赴聯合國剛果（金）穩定特派團工兵、醫療分隊共２１８人，赴聯合國利比里亞特派團工兵、運輸和醫療分隊共５５８人，赴聯合國駐黎巴嫩臨時部隊工兵、醫療分隊共３３５人，赴聯合國南蘇丹特派團工兵、醫療分隊共３３８人，赴聯合國／非盟達爾富爾特派團工兵分隊３１５人。

As of December 2012, a total of 1,842 PLA officers and men are implementing peacekeeping tasks in nine UN mission areas.

Among them, 78 are military observers and staff officers, 218 are engineering and medical personnel for the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO), 558 are engineering, transportation and medical personnel for the United Nations Mission in Liberia (UNMIL), 335 are engineering and medical personnel for the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), 338 are engineering and medical personnel for the United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan (UNMISS) and 315 are engineering personnel for the African Union/United Nations Hybrid Operation in Darfur (UNAMID).

中國維和部隊發揚特別能吃苦、特別能戰鬥、特別能奉獻的優良作風，高標準完成各項任務。２２年來，共新建、修復道路１萬多公里、橋樑２８４座，排除地雷和各類未爆物９０００多枚，運送物資１００萬噸，運輸總里程１１００多萬公里，接診病人１２萬人次。參謀軍官和軍事觀察員在司令部工作及巡邏、監督停火、聯絡、談判等各項任務中表現出高度負責的職業精神。赴剛果（金）工兵分隊連續奮戰數晝夜，平整火山岩石場地１．６萬平方米。赴利比里亞運輸分隊保障範圍輻射該國全境，成爲駐利近５０支聯合國維和部隊的運輸保障中樞。中國維和部隊還爲當地民衆鋪路架橋、維修車輛、運送物資、送醫送藥和傳授農業種植技術。赴黎巴嫩工兵分隊自創“斜十字交叉定位”掃雷法，大大提高作業安全係數和進度，日均清排面積５００平方米以上；在黎以衝突期間排除未爆炸彈３５００多枚。赴蘇丹達爾富爾工兵分隊在被認爲無法打井的地方打出１３眼水井。赴南蘇丹工兵分隊高標準建成首個解武、復員、安置過渡培訓中心，爲當地和平進程作出積極貢獻。

Tough, brave and devoted, Chinese peacekeepers accomplish all their tasks in an exemplary manner.

Over the past 22 years, Chinese peacekeepers have built and repaired over 10,000 km of roads and 284 bridges, cleared over 9,000 mines and various types of unexploded ordnance (UXO), transported over one million tons of cargo across a total distance of 11 million km and treated 120,000 patients.

The staff officers and military observers have displayed a high degree of professionalism in their work at the headquarters and in the tasks of patrol, ceasefire monitoring, liaison and negotiation.

The Chinese engineering units to the Democratic Republic of the Congo worked day and night to level an area of 16,000 square meters littered with volcanic rocks.

The Chinese transportation units to Liberia have worked throughout the country and served as the transportation support center for nearly 50 peacekeeping troops there.

Chinese peacekeepers also build roads and bridges, repair vehicles and transport materials for, as well as deliver medical assistance and impart agricultural technology to local people.

The Chinese engineering units to Lebanon invented the method of "tilted cross positioning" in minesweeping, which has greatly raised the safety and efficiency of such operations.

They can now cover an average of over 500 square meters per day with this method. During the Lebanon-Israel conflict in 2006, over 3,500 unexploded bombs were defused and disposed of.

The Chinese engineering units to Darfur, Sudan, dug 13 wells in areas where well digging was deemed impossible. The Chinese engineering units to South Sudan built the first interim training center for Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration (DDR) at a high standard, making a positive contribution to the local peace process.

中國維和官兵恪守聯合國維和人員行爲準則、交戰規則和駐在國法律法規，尊重當地宗教信仰和風俗習慣，嚴格遵守任務區規定和中國維和部隊規章制度，贏得了當地人民的信任。

Chinese peacekeepers strictly abide by the code of personal conduct for UN peacekeepers, rules of engagement and laws of host countries. They respect local religious beliefs and customs, and conscientiously observe the mission regulations and rules for the Chinese peacekeeping troops, thereby winning trust from the local people.

國際災難救援和人道主義援助

International Disaster Relief and Humanitarian Aid

中國武裝力量積極參加政府組織的國際災難救援和人道主義援助，向有關受災國提供救援物資與醫療救助，派出專業救援隊赴受災國救援減災，爲有關國家提供掃雷援助，開展救援減災國際交流。

China's armed forces take an active part in international disaster relief and humanitarian aid operations organized by the government. They provide relief supplies and medical aid, dispatch specialized rescue teams to disaster-stricken countries, provide mine-sweeping assistance and carry out international exchanges of rescue and disaster reduction.

２００２年以來，人民解放軍已執行國際緊急人道主義援助任務３６次，向２７個受災國運送總價值超過１２．５億元人民幣的救援物資。２００１年以來，由北京軍區工兵團官兵、武警總醫院醫護人員和中國地震局專家組成的中國國際救援隊，已參加８次國際災難救援行動。２０１０年以來，人民解放軍醫療救援隊先後３次赴海地、巴基斯坦執行國際人道主義醫學救援任務，陸軍航空兵直升機救援隊赴巴基斯坦協助抗擊洪澇災害。

Since 2002 the PLA has undertaken 36 urgent international humanitarian aid missions, and transported relief materials worth more than RMB1.25 billion to 27 disaster-stricken countries.

Since 2001, the Chinese International Search and Rescue (CISAR) Team, composed of officers and men from the engineering regiment of the Beijing Military Area Command, medical personnel from the PAPF General Hospital and experts from the China Earthquake Administration, has participated in eight international rescue operations.

Since 2010, PLA medical assistance teams have been sent three times to Haiti and Pakistan to carry out international humanitarian medical rescue operations, and the helicopter rescue team of the army aviation has been sent to Pakistan to assist flood-relief operations there.

２０１１年３月，日本發生強震並引發海嘯，中國國際救援隊緊急赴日參與搜救工作。２０１１年７月，泰國發生嚴重洪澇災害，人民解放軍空軍出動４架飛機將中國國防部援助泰國武裝部隊的９０多噸抗洪救災物資運抵曼谷。２０１１年９月，巴基斯坦發生特大洪災，人民解放軍空軍出動５架飛機將７０００頂救災帳篷空運至卡拉奇，蘭州軍區派出醫療防疫救援隊赴重災區昆瑞開展醫療救援、衛生防疫工作。

In March 2011 a devastating earthquake and tsunami hit Japan. The CISAR rushed to Japan and participated in the search-and-rescue operations.

In July 2011 heavy floods battered Thailand. The PLAAF sent four aircraft to transport to Bangkok more than 90 tons of relief materials provided by China's Ministry of National Defense to the Thai armed forces.

In September 2011, when disastrous floods struck Pakistan, the PLAAF dispatched five aircraft to deliver 7,000 tents to Karachi, and the Lanzhou Military Area Command sent a medical-care and epidemic-prevention team to Kunri, the worst-hit area.

中國武裝力量積極開展對發展中國家的醫療服務和援助，參與國際醫療交流與合作，增進了與各國的友誼和互信。２０１０—２０１１年，海軍“和平方舟”號醫院船先後赴亞非５國和拉美４國，執行“和諧使命”人道主義醫療服務任務，歷時１９３天，航程４．２萬海里，爲近５萬人提供醫療服務。近年來，人民解放軍醫療隊還結合參加人道主義醫療聯合演練，積極爲加蓬、祕魯、印度尼西亞等國家的民衆提供醫療服務。

China's armed forces actively provide medical care and aid to developing countries, and participate in international medical exchanges and cooperation, thus strengthening friendship and mutual trust with them.

From 2010 to 2011, PLAN's hospital ship Peace Ark visited five countries in Asia and Africa and four countries in Latin America to provide "Harmonious Mission" humanitarian medical service. In 193 days the voyage covered 42,000 nautical miles, and nearly 50,000 people received medical services. In recent years, the PLA medical team has also provided medical service to local people in Gabon, Peru and Indonesia while participating in joint humanitarian medical drills.

中國政府高度重視地雷引發的人道主義問題，積極支持和參與國際掃雷援助活動。１９９９年以來，人民解放軍通過舉辦掃雷技術培訓班、專家現場指導、援助掃雷裝備等方式，配合國家相關部門向近４０個亞洲、非洲、拉丁美洲國家提供掃雷援助，爲外國培訓掃雷技術人員４００多名，指導掃除雷場２０多萬平方米，捐贈價值約６０００萬元人民幣的掃雷裝備器材。

The Chinese government attaches great importance to the solution of humanitarian problems caused by landmines.

It actively supports and participates in international de-mining efforts.

Since 1999, the PLA, in collaboration with relevant departments of the PRC government, has provided de-mining assistance to nearly 40 Asian, African and Latin American countries through offering training courses, sending experts to give on-site instruction, and donating de-mining equipment.

As a result, the PLA has trained more than 400 mine-clearance personnel for foreign countries, guided the clearance of more than 200,000 square meters of land-mine areas and donated mine-clearance equipment worth RMB 60 million.

維護國際海上通道安全

Safeguarding the Security of International SLOCs

中國海軍履行國際義務，在亞丁灣、索馬里海域開展常態化護航行動，與多國護航力量進行交流合作，共同維護國際海上通道安全。截至２０１２年１２月，中國海軍護航編隊共爲４艘世界糧食計劃署船舶、２４５５艘外國船舶提供護航，佔護航船舶總數的４９％。救助外國船舶４艘，接護被海盜釋放的外國船舶４艘，解救被海盜追擊的外國船舶２０艘。

To fulfill China's international obligations, the Chinese navy carries out regular escort missions in the Gulf of Aden and waters off Somalia.

It conducts exchanges and cooperation with other escort forces to jointly safeguard the security of the international SLOCs.

As of December 2012, Chinese navy task groups have provided protection for four WFP ships and 2,455 foreign ships, accounting for 49% of the total of escorted ships. They helped four foreign ships, recovered four ships released from captivity and saved 20 foreign ships from pursuit by pirates.

中國海軍護航編隊在聯合護航、信息共享、協調聯絡等方面與多國海軍建立了良好的溝通機制。與俄羅斯開展聯合護航行動，與韓國、巴基斯坦、美國海軍艦艇開展反海盜等聯合演習演練，與歐盟協調爲世界糧食計劃署船舶進行護航。與歐盟、北約、多國海上力量、韓國、日本、新加坡等護航艦艇舉行指揮官登艦互訪活動，與荷蘭開展互派軍官駐艦考察活動。積極參與索馬里海盜問題聯絡小組會議以及“信息共享與防止衝突”護航國際會議等國際機制。

Chinese navy escort task forces have maintained smooth communication with other navies in the areas of joint escort, information sharing, coordination and liaison.

They have conducted joint escorts with their Russian counterparts, carried out joint anti-piracy drills with naval ships of the ROK, Pakistan and the US, and coordinated with the European Union to protect WFP ships.

It has exchanged boarding visits of commanders with task forces from the EU, NATO, the Combined Maritime Forces (CMF), the ROK, Japan and Singapore. It has exchanged officers for onboard observations with the navy of the Netherlands.

China takes an active part in the conferences of the Contact Group on Piracy off the Coast of Somalia (CGPCS) and "Shared Awareness and Deconfliction" (SHADE) meetings on international merchant shipping protection.

自２０１２年１月起，中國、印度、日本等獨立護航國家加強行動協調，以季度爲週期相互協調各自護航班期，實現護航資源的統籌協調，提高護航效率。中國作爲首輪護航班期協調參照國，及時公佈２０１２年第一季度護航班期，印度、日本據此調整本國護航班期計劃，形成了統一且間隔有序的護航班期。韓國從第四季度起加入獨立護航國家班期協調機制。

Since January 2012, independent deployers such as China, India and Japan have strengthened their convoy coordination.

They have adjusted their escort schedules on a quarterly basis, optimized available assets, and thereby enhanced escort efficiency. China, as the reference country for the first round of convoy coordination, submitted its escort timetable for the first quarter of 2012 in good time.

India and Japan's escort task forces adjusted their convoy arrangements accordingly, thereby formulating a well-scheduled escort timetable. The ROK joined these efforts in the fourth quarter of 2012.

中外軍隊聯演聯訓

Joint Exercises and Training with Foreign Armed Forces

人民解放軍堅持不結盟、不對抗、不針對第三方的方針和戰略互惠、平等參與、對等實施的原則，與外國軍隊開展多層次、多領域、多軍兵種的雙邊多邊聯演聯訓。２００２年以來，人民解放軍依據協議或約定與３１個國家舉行了２８次聯合演習、３４次聯合訓練，對於促進政治軍事互信、維護地區安全穩定和加強軍隊現代化建設發揮了積極作用。

In adherence to the principles of being non-aligned, non-confrontational, and not directed against any third party, as well as the guidelines of mutual benefit, equality and reciprocity, the PLA has held, together with other countries, bilateral and multilateral exercises and training featuring multiple levels, domains, services and arms.

Since 2002, the PLA has held 28 joint exercises and 34 joint training sessions with 31 countries in accordance with relevant agreements or arrangements.

This is conducive to promoting mutual trust in the political and military fields, safeguarding regional security and stability, and accelerating the PLA's modernization.

上海合作組織框架內聯合反恐軍事演習機制化發展。中國與上合組織成員國已共同舉行９次雙邊多邊聯合軍事演習。從２００５年開始，舉行具有戰略影響、戰役層次的較大規模“和平使命”系列聯合軍事演習，包括“和平使命—２００５”中俄聯合軍事演習、“和平使命—２００７”上合組織武裝力量聯合反恐軍事演習、“和平使命—２００９”中俄聯合反恐軍事演習、“和平使命—２０１０”上合組織武裝力量聯合反恐軍事演習、“和平使命—２０１２”上合組織武裝力量聯合反恐軍事演習。演習震懾和打擊了恐怖主義、分裂主義和極端主義勢力，提高了上合組織成員國共同應對新挑戰、新威脅的能力。

Joint anti-terrorism military exercises within the framework of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) have become more institutionalized.

To date, China and other SCO member states have conducted nine bilateral and multilateral military exercises.

Since 2005, they have carried out a series of "Peace Mission" joint exercises at the campaign level with strategic impact. They were the "Peace Mission-2005" China-Russia joint military exercise, "Peace Mission-2007" joint anti-terrorism military exercise by SCO members, "Peace Mission-2009" China-Russia joint anti-terrorism military exercise, "Peace Mission-2010" joint anti-terrorism military exercise by SCO members and "Peace Mission-2012" joint anti-terrorism military exercise by SCO members.

The aforementioned exercises served to warn and deter terrorist, secessionist and extremist forces. The capabilities of the SCO members are constantly being enhanced to jointly deal with new challenges and new threats.

海上聯演聯訓不斷拓展。近年來，中國海軍連續參加在阿拉伯海由巴基斯坦舉辦的“和平—０７”、“和平—０９”、“和平—１１”多國海上聯合演習。中俄兩國海軍以海上聯合保交作戰爲課題，在中國黃海海域舉行“海上聯合—２０１２”軍事演習。中泰兩國海軍陸戰隊舉行“藍色突擊—２０１０”、“藍色突擊—２０１２”聯合訓練。中國海軍結合艦艇互訪等活動，與印度、法國、英國、澳大利亞、泰國、美國、俄羅斯、日本、新西蘭、越南等國海軍舉行通信、編隊運動、海上補給、直升機互降、對海射擊、聯合護航、登臨檢查、聯合搜救、潛水等科目的雙邊或多邊海上演練。

Joint maritime exercises and training are being expanded. In recent years, the Chinese navy has taken part in the "Peace-07", "Peace-09" and "Peace-11" multinational maritime exercises hosted by Pakistan on the Arabian Sea.

The PLA and Russian navies held the "Maritime Cooperation-2012" military drill in the Yellow Sea off China's east coast focusing on joint defense of maritime traffic arteries. Chinese and Thai marine corps held the "Blue Strike-2010" and "Blue Strike-2012" joint training exercises. During mutual port calls and other activities, the Chinese navy also carried out bilateral or multilateral maritime exercises and training in such tasks as communications, formation movement, maritime replenishment, cross-deck helicopter landing, firing at surface, underwater and air targets, joint escort, boarding and inspection, joint search and rescue and diving with its counterparts from India, France, the UK, Australia, Thailand, the US, Russia, Japan, New Zealand and Vietnam.

陸軍聯合訓練逐步深化。２００７年以來，中國陸軍與外國陸軍多次舉行聯合訓練。與印度陸軍舉行“攜手—２００７”、“攜手—２００８”反恐聯合訓練，與蒙古國陸軍舉行“維和使命—２００９”維和聯合訓練，與新加坡舉行“合作—２００９”、“合作—２０１０”安保聯合訓練，與羅馬尼亞陸軍舉行“友誼行動—２００９”、“友誼行動—２０１０”山地部隊聯合訓練，與土耳其舉行陸軍突擊分隊聯合訓練。中國陸軍特種部隊與泰國陸軍特種部隊舉行“突擊—２００７”、“突擊—２００８”和“突擊—２０１０”反恐聯合訓練，與印度尼西亞特種部隊舉行“利刃—２０１１”、“利刃—２０１２”反恐聯合訓練，與巴基斯坦特種部隊舉行“友誼—２０１０”、“友誼—２０１１”反恐聯合訓練，與哥倫比亞特種作戰部隊舉行“合作—２０１２”反恐聯合訓練。２０１２年１１月，與約旦特種部隊舉行反恐聯合訓練，與美國陸軍舉行人道主義救援減災聯合室內推演。

Joint army training is gradually being increased in breadth and depth.

Since 2007, the PLAA has conducted a number of joint training sessions with its counterparts of other countries.

The PLAA joined the "Hand-in-Hand 2007" and "Hand-in-Hand 2008" joint anti-terrorism training sessions with the Indian army, "Peacekeeping Mission-2009" joint peacekeeping exercise with the Mongolian army, "Cooperation-2009" and "Cooperation-2010" joint security training exercises with Singapore, "Friendship Operation-2009" and "Friendship Operation-2010" joint military training of mountain troops with the Romanian army, and joint SOF unit training with the Turkish army.

The PLAA special forces held the "Strike-2007", "Strike-2008" and "Strike-2010" joint anti-terrorism training with their Thai counterparts, "Sharp Knife-2011" and "Sharp Knife-2012" joint anti-terrorism training with their Indonesian counterparts, "Friendship-2010" and "Friendship-2011" joint anti-terrorism training with their Pakistani counterparts, and "Cooperation-2012" joint anti-terrorism training with their Colombian counterparts.

In November 2012, joint anti-terrorism training was held with the Jordanian special forces and a joint humanitarian-assistance and disaster-relief tabletop exercise with the US army.

空軍聯合訓練取得進展。２０１１年３月，中國空軍聯訓分隊與巴基斯坦空軍舉行“雄鷹—１”聯合空戰訓練。１０月，中國與委內瑞拉空降兵舉行“合作—２０１１”城市反恐聯合訓練。２０１１年７月、２０１２年１１月，中國與白俄羅斯空降兵分別舉行“神鷹—２０１１”、“神鷹—２０１２”聯合訓練。

Joint air force training is also making progress. The PLAAF contingent held the "Shaheen-1" joint training of operational aerial maneuvers with its Pakistani counterpart in March 2011. China' s airborne commandos and their Venezuelan counterparts held the "Cooperation-2011" urban joint anti-terrorism training in October of the same year. China's airborne troops joined their Belarusian counterparts in the joint training code-named "Divine Eagle-2011" and "Divine Eagle-2012" respectively in July 2011 and November 2012.

衛勤聯合訓練穩步開展。２００９—２０１１年，人民解放軍醫療隊先後赴加蓬和祕魯舉行“和平天使”人道主義醫療救援聯合行動，赴印度尼西亞參加東盟地區論壇救災演練。２０１２年１０月，人民解放軍衛勤分隊與澳大利亞、新西蘭軍隊舉行“合作精神—２０１２”人道主義救援減災聯合演練。

Joint training in providing health services is being developed steadily. From 2009 to 2011, PLA medical teams held the "Peace Angel" joint operations for humanitarian medical assistance in Gabon and Peru, and participated in a disaster-relief exercise of the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) in Indonesia. The PLA health service team staged a joint exercise on humanitarian assistance and disaster relief code-named "Cooperation Spirit-2012" with its counterparts of Australia and New Zealand in October 2012.
