Meanwhile, the army is modernizing its equipment to keep up with advanced information warfare. Scientific research and innovation are encouraged to enable the PLA safeguard national security and stability.

Chinese soldiers are also going beyond the national border. Under the command of the United Nations, China has sent nearly 6,000 military staff on global peacekeeping missions.

Some have sacrificed their lives for world peace.

The deepening international cooperation also saw increased bilateral and multilateral military exchanges.

In 2006, China's military cooperation with the United States, Europe and Asian countries has reached high levels.

Through platforms such as the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, China enhances its military cooperative mechanism.

War games also help strengthen mutual understanding, and the combat capabilities.

The white paper says China will continue to modernize its army for defensive purposes, to ensure the smooth development of the national economy.

China's defense policy never threatens another country, neither now nor in the future.
