This is a strategic plan made by the CPC Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at its core, integrating development and security, enriching the country and strengthening the military, and focusing on accelerating the modernization of the national defense and the military, and it is a major initiative to consolidate and expand the achievements of the reform of the national defense and the military, and to create a new situation of reforming and strengthening the military. All parties should deeply study and understand the strategic considerations of the CPC Central Committee, grasp the significance and practical requirements of deepening the inter-military reform, and complete the reform tasks to a high standard.
Significant Achievements in Cross-Military Reform in the New Era
Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the Party has focused on realizing the Party's goal of strengthening the military in the new era, incorporating the deepening of national defense and military reforms into the overall overall deepening of reforms, and leading the most extensive and profound national defense and military reforms since the founding of New China. In this great change, the CPC Central Committee has taken cross-military reform as an important element, strengthened top-level design, cross-domain integration, and coordinated promotion, and achieved a series of important theoretical, institutional, and practical results.
Improving the leadership management system that integrates economic construction and national defense construction. Focusing on the formation of an integrated national strategic system and capability, the government has built a leadership and management system that integrates economic construction and national defense construction, reshaped the organizational and management system, work operation system, and policy and institutional system, and promoted the coordinated, balanced and compatible development of economic construction and national defense construction. It will build a Party leadership system with an overall view and coordination in the field of national defense development, strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee over national defense development, especially national defense science and technology and weaponry construction, and give full play to the advantages of China's system and a new type of state-raising system to promote national defense construction.
Building a service and protection system for retired military personnel. Focusing on safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of military personnel and their families, and making military service a respected profession in society as a whole, we have established a centralized and unified system of management and protection for ex-servicemen with clear responsibilities, set up the Ministry of Veterans' Affairs, set up leading institutions and administrative agencies for ex-servicemen's affairs at the county level and above, built six levels of ex-servicemen's service centers from the national level to the village (community) level, introduced the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Ex-Servicemen, and formulated a system of resettlement The Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Ex-Servicemen has been introduced, and complementary policies on resettlement, employment, preferential treatment, praise and commendation, and services and guarantees have been formulated, thus creating a nationwide pattern of work on ex-servicemen that is vertically linked and horizontally coordinated.
Adjusting the leadership and command system and force structure of the Armed Police Force. In accordance with the principle that the military is the military, the police is the police, and the people is the people, the Armed Police Force has been adjusted to be under the Central Military Commission's establishment, with centralized and unified leadership by the Party Central Committee and the Central Military Commission, to further strengthen the Party's absolute leadership of the nation's armed forces. The overall transfer of the armed police gold, forest, water and electricity forces to the relevant state departments and reorganized into non-active professional forces, no longer public security border guards, firefighters, security forces in the sequence of the armed police force and all withdrawn from active duty, the formation of the Marine Police Corps. Through adjustment and reform, the functions of the Armed Police Force have become more focused, and the leadership and command system and force system have been optimized.
Adjusting the national defense mobilization system and air traffic management system. The reform of the national defense mobilization system has been implemented; the Party, government and military systems have been scientifically configured to carry out national defense mobilization functions; the National Defense Mobilization Committees at the national, provincial, municipal and county levels have been optimally reorganized; relevant offices have been adjusted and set up; and a mechanism has been established for coordinating the command and application of national defense mobilization on the ground and in the army, so as to form a new pattern for national defense mobilization under the leadership of the Party, whereby the army and the local government each take charge of its own duties and work closely together. Reform of the air traffic control system has been carried out, with relevant leading bodies and offices being set up at the central and local levels to speed up the optimization of the national air traffic management system. In addition, a series of reform initiatives have been launched in areas such as the socialization of military security and the collaborative innovation of military and civilian science and technology, achieving solid results.

A comprehensive halt to paid military services and a reshaping of the order of military asset management have been put in place. Focusing on maintaining the nature and character of the people's army and promoting the focus of the army on its main business of preparing for and fighting wars, the paid service activities carried out by organs at all levels of the army, as well as by the army and its subordinate public institutions, have basically been realized, and significant political, military and economic and social effects have been achieved. Innovative models for the management of military assets have been developed, exploring ways to centralize the management of military assets and the replacement of assets between the military and the local authorities, and promoting the intensive use of military assets and resources, market-oriented operations and professional development.

Recognizing the significance of deepening cross-military reforms
Reform is always on the way. On the new journey of comprehensively advancing the construction of a strong nation and national rejuvenation by means of Chinese-style modernization, and in the face of the complex struggle situation and fierce military competition, it is necessary to continuously deepen the reform of national defense and the army with a more resolute determination and will to continuously improve the people's army's leadership and management system and the joint operation system, to deepen the reform of the inter-military regions, and to improve the strategic capability of defending the country's sovereignty, security, and development interests. The significance of deepening cross-military reform can be recognized in three ways.
It is an important element in promoting the modernization of the national governance system and governance capacity. Adhering to and improving the socialist system with Chinese characteristics and basically modernizing the national governance system and governance capacity by 2035 are the Party's strategic tasks and important goals. After this round of national defense and military reforms, a number of institutional mechanisms and policy and institutional problems in the field of national defense have been forcefully solved, injecting strong impetus and providing powerful guarantee for national defense construction. At the same time, with the changes in the national security situation and the development of the practice of strengthening the country and the military, the national defense construction has encountered a lot of new situations, and some contradictions and problems have gradually emerged, which are mainly concentrated in the cross-cutting parts of the military and the military, the interface between the juncture and the coordination links. The Decision plans and promotes reforms in the economic, political, cultural, social, ecological civilization, military, foreign affairs and other fields as a whole, and makes deepening cross-military reforms a key point in deepening the reform of national defense and the military in a sustained manner, in order to break down the deep-rooted systemic and institutional barriers and structural contradictions, and to make the system related to the national defense buildup more scientific and better, and more compatible and coordinated with the governance of the country.
This is a strategic approach to promote the simultaneous enhancement of national defense and economic strength. The scientific arrangement of the relationship between economic construction and national defense construction is a major issue that must be correctly dealt with to promote Chinese-style modernization. At present, the world's scientific and technological revolution, industrial revolution, and military revolution are accelerating, and the coupling of national strategic competitiveness, social productivity, and military combat effectiveness is more closely related, especially in the emerging fields of space, cyberspace, and artificial intelligence, which are technologically homogeneous, industrially rooted, and synchronized, and which provide an important opportunity for upgrading both national defense strength and economic strength. To consolidate and improve the integrated national strategic system and capability, it is necessary to promote the in-depth integration of national defense construction into economic and social development with more powerful institutional arrangements and guarantees, and to promote the efficient integration and two-way pull of the new-quality productive forces and the new-quality combat forces. Deepening cross-military reform means continuously adjusting the relevant systems and optimizing the working mechanism, strengthening the integration of strategic planning, the convergence of policies and systems, and the sharing of resources and elements, so as to promote the integration of the strategic layout of various fields, especially emerging fields, the integration of strategic resources, and the application of strategic forces.
This is an inherent requirement for promoting the high-quality development of national defense and the military. President Xi pointed out that to accelerate the modernization of national defense and the military, high-quality development must be given top priority. Now, the national defense and military construction is at a critical stage of improving quality and efficiency, and to achieve the goal of building the military for 100 years and accelerate the modernization of the national defense and the military, it is necessary to adhere to the overall coordination, systematic construction and systematic governance, and to coordinate the promotion of governance in all fields, the whole chain of governance, governance at all levels, and cross-military governance, so as to promote high-quality development with high-level governance. Comprehensively strengthening military governance is a profound change in our party's philosophy and way of governing the military, and reform is an important driving force for comprehensively strengthening military governance. Deepening cross-military reform means implementing the concept of governance, further improving the relevant organizational and operational systems, rationalizing relations, clarifying functions, clearing links, strengthening cross-military and cross-field coordination, forming a cross-military and cross-field working pattern that is in charge of its own responsibilities, closely coordinated and regulated, improving cross-military and cross-field governance, and enhancing the effectiveness of the operation of the military system and the efficiency of the use of national defence resources.

Grasp the major initiatives to deepen cross-military reform
The Decision makes a clear deployment for deepening cross-military reform and arranges key reform tasks for the current and future period, which need to be accurately understood and grasped at all levels and comprehensively implemented, with particular attention paid to the following three major initiatives.
Improve the integrated national strategic system and capacity building mechanism. Consolidating and improving the integrated national strategic system and capacity is a strategic move to cope with complex security threats and win advantages in national development. Under the strong leadership of the CPC Central Committee, significant progress has been made in building an integrated national strategic system and capacity, with a comprehensive reshaping of institutions, mechanisms and policies, and solid steps taken in the coordinated development of key regions, key areas and emerging fields. The next step is to focus on optimizing the relevant working mechanisms and improving the level of cross-military integration and coordination. Improve the institutional mechanism for coordinating military-related decision-making, improve the mechanism for reporting military needs for national defense construction and docking between the military and the land, and improve the mechanism for coordinating the standardization of work between the military and the land, so as to promote the rapid and efficient transformation of the country's comprehensive strength into an advanced fighting force.
Optimize the system and layout of the national defense science and technology industry. A strong national defense science and technology industry is an important support for the modernization of the national defense and the military, and is the basis for upgrading the new quality of combat power. Since the 18th CPC National Congress, the overall strength and core competitiveness of China's national defense science and technology industry has been significantly improved, but the foundation is still not solid enough, and the capabilities of research and development, production, continuous supply, independent control, and peace and war conversion are not yet compatible with the needs of the national security strategy. It is necessary to deepen the reform of the national defense science and technology industry system, improve the operation mechanism of construction management, improve the procurement system of weapons and equipment, smooth the chain from the generation of operational needs to the supply of weapons and equipment, and build a modernized management system for weapons and equipment. It will further optimize the layout of the national defense science and technology industry, improve the mechanism of competition, meritocracy and positive incentives, strengthen the construction of the core capabilities of the military industry, and build a strong and robust national defense science and technology industry system.
Optimize the leadership and management system and mechanism of border and sea defense. According to the development and change of the national security environment, China's border and sea defense leadership and management system has gone through the stages of the army's main management after the founding of New China, the division of management between the military and the local government in the 1970s, and the division of labor between the military and the local government in the 1980s under the coordination of the Leading Group of the Central Committee for Border Defense Work, and the setting up of the State Committee on Border Defense in 1991, and the change of its name to the State Committee on Border and Sea Defense in 2005. This system has been in use until now, and while it is powerful in safeguarding the security of the country's border and sea defense, it is also facing problems such as the organization system of border and sea defense work not being complete enough, the authority of the military and the local government not being clear enough, and the regulations and systems not being perfect enough. The next step is to strengthen the centralized and unified leadership of the CPC Central Committee on border and sea defense, optimize the system and mechanism of leadership and management of border and sea defense, improve the mechanism of the Party, government, military, police and people's joint efforts to rule the border, enhance the comprehensive capacity of strengthening the border and consolidating the defense and provide a strong guarantee for the construction of strong and solid modern border and sea defense.
Jointly grasp the deepening of cross-military reform task implementation
President Xi has pointed out that reforms are both innovative and innovative, and that getting the right law will get twice the result with half the effort, while not getting the right law will get half the result with half the effort or even produce negative effects. Inter-military reform covers a wide range of areas and involves many departments, and it is necessary to strengthen political leadership and organizational leadership, and grasp the implementation of reform in the spirit of nails.
Adhere to the problem-oriented. Adherence to problem orientation is a distinctive feature of the reform, but also an important experience of the reform. Deepening cross-military reform is to run to the problem, staring at the problem to change, to solve the deep-rooted contradictions and problems. Promote each reform task, should be identified to constrain the modernization of national defense and military problems and key, twist the main contradiction and the main aspects of the contradiction, institutional shortcomings of the old and new, the mechanism of the shortcomings of the solid strength to make up for the shortcomings of the policy on the obstacles of the blockage, the interests of the barriers on the breakthroughs of the concentration of the reform, and effectively enhance the relevance of the effectiveness of the reform.
Adhere to the system to promote. Cross-military reform involves many aspects of the military, associated with the development and security of many factors, the need to strengthen the overall coordination and enhance the reform of the systematic, holistic, synergistic. It is necessary to make an integrated effort to study and validate the reforms, formulate the plan, organize and implement the reforms, clarify the priorities, grasp the time and effect, and realize the unity of the overall advancement and key breakthroughs. To promote cross-military reform, we should not only grasp the specificity of our own, but also consider the relevance of other reforms, to ensure that cross-military reform and other reforms in the same direction and resonance.
Adhere to positive and steady. Some cross-military major reform initiatives affect the whole body, the need to adhere to the general tone of seeking progress while maintaining stability, both proactive and solid and prudent, steady and prudent to promote the implementation. Focusing on the first to establish and then break, strategically courageous, tactically steady, grasp the rhythm of reform, control the risk of reform. Some reforms touch on complex interests, not only to strengthen the sense of enterprise, sense of opportunity, sense of responsibility, the courage to break through the inappropriate pattern of interests, but also to seek methods and strategies, and properly deal with the contradictions and problems encountered in the reform.
Adhere to the linkage between the military and the land. The deeper the inter-military reform advances, the more hard bones will be encountered, the more need for the military to take up their responsibilities, and work together to overcome the reform of the blockages and difficulties. All relevant departments and units should strengthen the concept of the overall situation, and be good at calculating the big, total and long-term accounts, so that the local subordinate to the overall situation, elements subordinate to the system. Strengthen the consultation and docking between the military and the local government, the main responsible unit to take the initiative to act, the participating units to actively cooperate, in accordance with the division of responsibilities to grasp the implementation of the work. Pay attention to mobilize and give full play to all aspects of enthusiasm, creativity, widely listen to the opinions and suggestions, maximum cohesion deepen cross-military reform wisdom and strength.
