It is noted that Chinese President Xi Jinping initiated a comprehensive modernization of China’s military arsenal since he came to power in 2013. This process has witnessed major building plans and reforms, the most notable of which are: reducing army forces in favor of relying on military technology, increasing the defense budget, enhancing combat capabilities, and issuing new recruitment rules in the People’s Army. These include attracting university graduates with scientific and engineering backgrounds to achieve Xi’s goal of building a globally capable army by 2050.
