Section 1 Naval Construction and Development Trend
Section 2 Naval Capability Requirements Under New Era Conditions
Section 3 Main Measures for Naval Construction and Development

The navy is an important part of the country's armed forces and has a very important position in the overall
situation of national security and development. After more than 70 years of development, the Navy has
grown from nothing, from small to large, from weak to strong, and from near seas to far seas. The
international military has become a modern maritime combat force that can effectively defend national
sovereignty, security, and development interests, and effectively complete diversified military tasks. Under
the conditions of the new era, the strategic environment and main tasks faced by the navy have undergone
major changes. How to build a powerful navy commensurate with the country’s status and fulfilling its
missions has become a major strategic issue that needs to be resolved urgently. Xi Jinping emphatically
pointed out: "On the journey of the new era, in the struggle to achieve the great rejuvenation of the Chinese
nation, the task of building a powerful People’s Navy has never been so urgent as it is today." The
strategic capabilities of the navy under the conditions of informatization and intelligence will accelerate the
modernization of the navy.

Section 1 Army Construction and Development Trend 
Section 2 Army Capability Requirements under New Era Conditions 
Section 3 Main Measures for Army Construction and Development

With the accelerated evolution of warfare, the land battlefield has been injected with many new elements
and new connotations. Revolutionary changes are taking place in the way of land warfare. The development
of the army is facing both new opportunities and severe challenges. Facing the new situation and new
challenges, we must actively adapt to the profound changes in the army's construction mode and application
methods in the era of informatization and intelligence, and in accordance with the strategic requirements of
mobile operations and three-dimensional offensive and defense, further promote the lean, diversified, and
modular development pace, and accelerate realizing the transformation from a regional defense type to a
global combat type, and strive to build a powerful modern new army.

Section One: Army Construction and Development Trend

Since entering the 21st century, major countries in the world have increased their investment, vigorously
develop army weapon systems with information technology and intelligent technology as the core,
accelerate the restructuring of the army force and military theory innovation, build digital battlefields and
intelligent forces, and vigorously promote Army construction and transformation with informatization and
intelligentization as the main feature.

Section 1 Basic Law of Military Power Construction and Development 
Section 2 Military Force Construction and Development under New Era Conditions 
Section 3 Building a New Military Power System

Military power is the collective name of various powers possessed by a country or political group in the
military field, including military power and military potential, referred to as military power. Military power is
the existing military power of a country or political group. China's military forces mainly include the active
and reserve forces of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the armed police forces and the militia, as well
as military-related comprehensive forces in political, economic, technological, and cultural aspects. Military
potential is the potential power that can be used for military purposes by a country or political group through
mobilization. Generally, it refers to the human, material, financial, scientific and technological innovation
power and information power that can be mobilized for military purposes. Military force construction and
development, including the army, navy, air force, rocket force, strategic support force, joint logistics support
force, armed police force and reserve force, must be scientifically coordinated, strengthened management,
coordinated development, and comprehensively strengthen the construction of revolutionization,
modernization, and regularization.

Section One: Basic Laws of Military Force Construction and Development

The construction and development of military power have inherent and essential connections and inevitable
trends, and these connections and trends determine the direction, process and outcome of the development
of the contradictory movement of military power. Understanding and mastering the basic laws of military
force building and development is the basic requirement for actively guiding national defense and army
building and strengthening preparations for military conflict.

Section 1 The Strategic Significance of the Overseas use of Military Power
Section 2 The Main Features of the Overseas Use of Military Power 
Section 3 The Strategic Guidance for the Overseas Use of Military Power

The overseas use of military power generally includes both non-war military operations and war operations.
China implements a peaceful foreign policy and a defensive national defense policy. It has always
advocated the settlement of disputes between countries through peaceful means and opposed the frequent
use of force. Therefore, the overseas use of our military power is mainly non-war use. The basic operation
patterns include: international peacekeeping, international rescue, maritime escort, overseas evacuation,
international joint military exercises and joint training, naval and air strategic cruises, open sea training,
military assistance, warship visits, international counter-terrorism, etc. Today's world is facing
unprecedented changes. Our country is developing rapidly from large to strong, and overseas interests are
expanding. The military must resolutely fulfill the mission and tasks of the new era, and further strengthen
the planning and guidance of the overseas use of military forces, and contribute to safeguarding the
country's overseas interests and promoting regional stability and the maintenance of world peace.

Section 1 Main styles of Non-war Military Operations 
Section 2 Basic Characteristics of Non-war Military Operations 
Section 3 Strategic Guidance for Non-war Military Operations 

Non-war military operations refer to non-war military operations carried out by a country or political group to
achieve a certain political goal, using military force, using non-violent or limited violent means. Under the
conditions of the new era, with the expansion of national interests and the rise of non-traditional security
threats, the role of non-war military operations has become increasingly prominent, and has become an
important method of national military force use and an effective means to maintain national security and
development.

Performing non-war military missions is an inevitable requirement for the military to perform its duties and
missions and an important way to enhance its combat capabilities. Its status is prominent in the following
aspects: first, it can play an important role in maintaining national stability. Natural disasters and public
health incidents are increasing and destructive. Various emergencies occur frequently and have great
psychological shock. The threat of terrorism is serious and political influence is great, which will have a
serious impact on economic construction and even social stability. Non-war military operations such as
counter-terrorism operations, stability maintenance operations, rescue and disaster relief, and security and
vigilance can ensure rapid response, control the situation, reduce losses, and restore stability. Second, it
can play a unique role in deterring war. The mediation and monitoring of hostile parties in international
peacekeeping operations can avoid or reduce the possibility of conflicts and wars. Border containment
operations can effectively control the border situation, prevent escalation, reduce conflicts, and avoid wars.
The third is to deepen international security cooperation. Non-war military operations such as international
rescue and escort are all of a military cooperation nature, which plays an important role in establishing an
international image, increasing mutual trust, and strengthening friendly relations with relevant countries.
Therefore, non-war military operations are an important means of national diplomacy and an effective tool
for strengthening international cooperation.

Operational guidance is a principled instruction and guidance for the planning and implementation of
operations. It is an integral part of strategic guidance and runs through the entire process of war planning
and implementation. Correct operational guidance is an important prerequisite for ensuring victory in the
war. Operational guidance of information-based local wars has the characteristics of many targets, wide
areas, complex planning content, and difficult command and control.

Section 1 Definitions and Characteristics of Battle Situation Control
Section 2 Principles of Battle Situation Control 
Section 3 Controlling the Opening of the War 
Section 4 Controlling the Development of Battle Situations
Section 5 Controlling the End of War

As the main link and concentrated embodiment of war implementation, war action is very rich in content.
War action styles mainly include: strategic reconnaissance and strategic early warning, strategic projection
and strategic deployment, strategic assault, strategic counter-air attack, strategic blockade, border defense,
island operations, maritime mobile operations, cyber electromagnetic space warfare, and opinion and legal
struggles and psychological offense and defense, etc.

Section 1 Strategic Reconnaissance and Strategic Early Warning 
Section 2 Strategic Projection and Strategic Deployment 
Section 3 Strategic Assault Section 
Section 4 Strategic Counter Air Attack 
Section 5 Strategic Blockade Section 
Section 6 Border Defense 
Section 7 Island Operations 
Section 8 Sea Mobile Operations 
Section 9 Cyber Electromagnetic Space Warfare 
Section 10 Public Opinion Jurisprudence Struggle and Psychological
Offense and Defense

The planning of information-based local wars, from the perspective of stages, includes planning the start of
the war, the course of the war, and the end of the war; from the content point of view, it mainly involves
grasping the characteristics of the war, making war decisions, designing war operations, constructing
strategic deployments, and organizing strategies coordination, overall planning of strategic guarantees,
implementation of war mobilization, planning of political work, etc. The content of war planning should be the
main body, and its related elements should be organically integrated in the planning of each stage of the war
and the control of the whole battle situation.

Section 4 Military Conflict in the Polar Domain
Section 5 Military Conflict in the Biological Domain 
Section 6 Military Conflict in the Intelligence Domain

Military conflicts in the new domains are various military activities conducted in the space, network, deep
sea, polar regions, biology, intelligence, etc., domains in order to maintain national security. The new
domains are not only an important domain of military conflict, but also an integral part of international
political struggle, which has an important influence on the country's politics and diplomacy. Therefore, all
countries in the world, especially the big countries, are paying close attention to and planning military
conflicts in new areas.

Section 1 Military Conflict in Space 
Section 2 Military Conflict in Cyberspace 
Section 3 Military Conflict in the Deep-Sea Domain 

Military conflicts in the new domains are various military activities conducted in the space, network, deep
sea, polar regions, biology, intelligence, etc., domains in order to maintain national security. The new
domains are not only an important domain of military conflict, but also an integral part of international
political struggle, which has an important influence on the country's politics and diplomacy. Therefore, all
countries in the world, especially the big countries, are paying close attention to and planning military
conflicts in new areas.

Strategic deterrence is an important content of military strategic planning and guidance, and an effective
means to maintain national security and development. With the extensive use of high-tech in the military
field and the development and change of the international strategic situation, the role of strategic deterrence
has become increasingly prominent. Under the conditions of the new era, it is necessary to use the flexible
use of strategic deterrence methods to create a favorable strategic situation to contain armed conflicts and
wars, delay the outbreak of wars, stop the escalation and expansion of wars, avoid, or reduce war damage,
and maintain the ever-expanding national security and development interests.

Section One: The Connotation and Characteristics of Military crisis
After the end of the Cold War, international military crises frequently occurred, and the incentives were
complex and diverse. The prominent manifestations were the intensified competition for geopolitical and
economic interests, the intensification of ethnic and religious contradictions, and the endless emergence of
national unity and territorial disputes. Study the connotation of contemporary military crises, explore the
characteristics and laws of the occurrence, development, and transformation of military crises, summarize
the experience of crisis prevention and handling, and improve our country's ability to prevent and handle
military crises, which has important practical significance for stopping wars, defending national interests, and
maintaining regional stability and world peace .

Section One: The Main Characteristics of Strategic Decision-Making
Strategic decision-making has a macro-oriented and leading role. Compared with decision-making in other
fields, strategic decision-making has outstanding antagonism, risk, creativity, timeliness, and foresight.

1. Stark confrontation
Strategic decision-making is the decision made by the strategic instructor on the countermeasures we
should take in response to the other's attempts, possible actions, and security threats to us. It is obviously
antagonistic. It is not only a competition of the will and strength of the two parties, but also a game of
strategy and art between the two parties. It requires that the strategic director must give full play to his
subjective initiative on the basis of objective material.
Strategic decision-making is also manifested in the process of intelligent confrontation between the opposing
parties relying on and using military strength. It is a competition between the strategic directors of the two
sides to compete for superiority and active subjective guidance.

Section One: The meaning and role of strategic evaluation
Strategic evaluation is produced in the long-term military conflict practice of mankind. It is an objective
requirement for the implementation of scientific guidance on strategic activities. Its meaning and role
continue to develop with the practice of military conflicts, and present the trend of the professionalization of
evaluation of the main body and scientification of evaluation method, and diversification of evaluation
content.
1. The meaning of strategic evaluation
Strategic evaluation refers to the process of using scientific methods to conduct qualitative and quantitative
comprehensive evaluation of strategic activities, and make corresponding evaluation conclusions. It
generally includes pre-evaluation, stage evaluation and effectiveness evaluation.
In the military field, although strategic evaluation activities have long existed, they are mainly characterized
by qualitative analysis. It was not until the 1980s that due to the development of computer technology,
strategic evaluation began to move from static evaluation to dynamic simulation evaluation, and qualitative
evaluation to qualitative evaluation. The combination of quantitative evaluation and development has
resulted in the emergence of a strategic evaluation system that adapts to different evaluation tasks, and the
evaluation theory has also been greatly developed. A professional evaluation agency and a special
evaluation system have been established.

Army building and preparations for military conflict are both closely linked and have differences. From the
perspective of the relationship between the two, the main aspects of army building and military conflict
preparations are the same and consistent. Army building is the basis of military conflict preparations, and
military conflict preparations for specific combat objects in a certain strategic direction are themselves. An
important content of army building, at the same time it can lead and promote army building. Judging from the
difference between the two, army building is a regular military activity, which is basic, comprehensive and
long-term, and pays more attention to ability traction; while preparations for military conflict are often carried
out in response to a certain actual security threat, and have a strong pertinence and phased nature, and put
more emphasis on demand traction. It can be seen that both are important content of strategy
implementation, and they can be planned and implemented as one at the same time.

To strengthen the country and the army, strategy is first. To study and research strategy, we must first clarify
the basic concepts, study the basic theories, and master the basic principles. This Part is the basic theory of
strategy, which aims to reveal the basic connotation, basic principles, and operating laws of strategy. On the
basis of explaining the basic issues of strategy, the five links of strategic operation are discussed in detail,
namely, strategic judgment, strategic decision-making, strategic planning, strategic implementation, and
strategic evaluation. Among them, making correct strategic judgments on the security situation facing the
country is the starting point for strategic operations. On the basis of strategic analysis and judgment,
strategic directors make strategic decisions, identify threats, distinguish between enemies and friends, clarify
goals and tasks, and make strategic deployments. In order to implement the various contents of the strategic
decision, it is necessary to formulate a strategic plan, and then pay for the implementation of the strategy,
and implement the content of the strategic decision and plan into all links and stages of military conflict and
army building. Finally, there is an evaluation of the strategic operation process. This is the complete process
and basic principle of strategic operation. By revealing this basic principle, this part provides theoretical
support for the strategic guidance on the use and construction of military forces in later chapters.
