Cultivation of a Strong Fighting Spirit

Our people's armed forces are known for their ability to fight and win. The undeniable strength of their fighting spirit has been tested over the long years of revolution and economic development. They dare to beat any odds, and dare to confront any danger. 

While inspecting the naval forces stationed in Sanya in April 2013, Xi Jinping emphasized the importance of cultivating a strong fighting spirit as an essential element of a political awareness initiative as well as a measure to strengthen the capabilities of service members to fight, to command, and to train, and urged the implementation of long-term mechanisms for developing that spirit. 

The Decision on Strengthening Political Work in the Military Under New Conditions outlines a comprehensive framework for developing this spirit through efforts to raise political awareness, tough training, strict discipline, enabling cultural environment, personal involvement in actual operations, and institutional incentives. To this end, training sessions will be organized to examine military history, conduct case studies of wars and conflicts, and read stories of exemplary commanders and war heroes. This will inspire patriotism and heroism, prepare our service members to fight and win wars with the courage to make the ultimate sacrifice for the nation, and to build a strong team spirit, and foster grit, tenacity, and perseverance.
