    About our People's Liberation Army news

    Latest news on People's Liberation Army (PLA), China's armed forces, covering military developments, exercises, equipment, naval and air force operations across Asia-Pacific.

    The People's Liberation Army serves as the armed forces of the People's Republic of China and the military wing of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). With approximately 2 million active personnel, it represents the largest military force in the world, comprising Ground Forces, Navy (PLAN), Air Force (PLAAF), Rocket Force (PLARF), and Strategic Support Force (PLASSF).

    Under President Xi Jinping's modernisation drive, the PLA continues its transformation into a world-class military force by 2049. Recent developments include significant investments in advanced technologies, artificial intelligence, and space capabilities, alongside expanded naval operations in the South China Sea and beyond. Regular military exercises demonstrate growing capabilities across all domains, from carrier operations to hypersonic weapons testing.

    Behind the hardware and statistics are the individuals who make up the PLA's ranks. Military service continues to evolve, with increasing emphasis on technical expertise and professional development. The force maintains strong connections with civilian society through various programmes, while military parades and demonstrations remain important cultural events that showcase the PLA's role as a symbol of national pride.

    Since its founding in 1927 during the Chinese Civil War, the PLA has transformed from a revolutionary army into a modern military force. Key reforms have included the shift from a continental defence force to one capable of joint operations across multiple domains, while maintaining its position as the Party's army. The 1990s marked the beginning of sustained modernisation efforts, accelerating in recent decades.

    Our NewsNow feed provides comprehensive coverage of PLA developments from authoritative sources worldwide, including military exercises, technological advances, and strategic analyses. Whether you're a defence analyst, researcher, or someone interested in Asian security dynamics, our feed delivers timely updates on one of the world's most significant military forces.
