China's top legislature opened its annual session on Thursday morning at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

"Last year saw new achievements in modernizing national defense and the armed forces. This year, we will continue to apply Xi Jinping Thought on Strengthening the Military and implement the military strategy for the new era. We will stay committed to the Party's absolute leadership over the people's armed forces, and fully and thoroughly implement the system of ultimate responsibility resting with the chairman of the Central Military Commission. We will make major strides toward the centenary goals of the People's Liberation Army," said Li.
"We will make solid gains in military training and combat readiness, so as to boost our strategic capacity to safeguard China's sovereignty, security, and development interests. We will make coordinated advances in military-civilian reforms. We in government at every level should provide strong support for endeavors to develop national defense and the armed forces, and consolidate the unity between the military and the government and between the military and the people," said Li.
