China's military should take solid steps toward a strong army as socialism with Chinese characteristics has entered a new era, said Xi Jinping, general secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC). Xi made the remarks when meeting senior military officers in Beijing Thursday. Xi, also Chinese president and chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), urged the army to remain true to its original aspiration and keep its mission firmly in mind.
中共中央總書記、國家主席、中央軍委主席習近平10月26日對軍隊領導干部發表講話時指出，中國特色社會主義進入了新時代，人民軍隊要不忘初心、牢記使命，堅定不移走中國特色強軍之路。

十九大報告中提出了一系列新判斷、新提法、新概念、新要求、新部署，其中包括黨在新時代的強軍目標：

適應世界新軍事革命發展趨勢和國家安全需求，提高建設質量和效益，確保到二〇二〇年基本實現機械化，信息化建設取得重大進展，戰略能力有大的提升。同國家現代化進程相一致，全面推進軍事理論現代化、軍隊組織形態現代化、軍事人員現代化、武器裝備現代化，力爭到二〇三五年基本實現國防和軍隊現代化，到本世紀中葉把人民軍隊全面建成世界一流軍隊。
We will adapt to the trend of a new global military revolution and to national security needs; we will upgrade our military capabilities, and see that, by the year 2020, mechanization is basically achieved, IT application has come a long way, and strategic capabilities have seen a big improvement. In step with our country's modernization process, we will modernize our military across the board in terms of theory, organizational structure, service personnel, and weaponry. We will make it our mission to see that by 2035, the modernization of our national defense and our forces is basically completed; and that by the mid-21st century, our people's armed forces have been fully transformed into world-class forces.

習近平強調，中國特色社會主義進入了新時代，國防和軍隊建設也進入了新時代。人民軍隊要不忘初心、牢記使命（the people's army should remain true to its original aspiration and keep its mission firmly in mind），認真學習貫徹黨的十九大精神（learn and implement the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress），深入學習貫徹新時代黨的強軍思想，堅定不移走中國特色強軍之路（following the road of building a strong army with Chinese characteristics），全面推進國防和軍隊現代化（promote the modernization of national defense and the army），為實現黨在新時代的強軍目標、到本世紀中葉把人民軍隊全面建成世界一流軍隊、實現中華民族偉大復興的中國夢而努力奮斗。

習近平指出，新一屆軍委班子要牢記黨和人民重托（to be keenly aware of the trust bestowed by the Party and people），牢記全軍官兵期望（aware of the expectations of all servicemen and women），全力以赴做好軍委工作（spare no effort in their work）。我軍高級干部是強軍事業的中堅力量（the backbone of the campaign to build a strong army），身上千鈞重擔，身后千軍萬馬，必須對黨忠誠、聽黨指揮（loyal and obedient to the Party），必須善謀打仗、能打勝仗（be good and smart at combat），必須銳意改革、勇于創新（endeavor to reform and innovation），必須科學統籌、科學管理，必須厲行法治、從嚴治軍（be efficient in commanding their forces, strict in discipline），必須作風過硬、作出表率（set an example by performing their duty with spirit and diligence），以飽滿的精神狀態和奮斗姿態為黨工作，忠實履行好職責。
