China releases new white paper on national defence strategy

Stephen Trimble JDW Americas Bureau Chief

China's armed forces are pursuing a three-step modernization strategy with the goal to deploy a new "solid foundation" in 2010 and to be capable of winning an "informationalised" war by around 2050, according to a new strategic blueprint released on 29 December.

A white paper entitled ‘China's National Defence in 2006’ is the sixth such document issued since 1998 by the Information Office of the State Council in Beijing.

The white paper states: "The PLA [People's Liberation Army], taking mechanization as the foundation and informationalisation as the driving force, promotes the composite development of informationalisation and mechanisation to achieve overall capability improvement in the fields of firepower, assault, mobility, protection and information."

To this end, the army has been reduced by a further 200,000 troops from 2003-2005, bringing the total PLA end-strength to 2.3 million. In their place, the army has commenced a strategic project to train a large cadre of troops "suited to the task of informationalisation and competent for operational tasks under conditions of informationalisation”.
