The importance of national defense

As a country and a nation, the most important thing is nothing more than two major events, one is development and the other is security. National defense is the product of the development and security needs of human society, the fundamental plan related to the life and death of the country and the nation, and the competition of comprehensive strength based on economy and science and technology.

National defense construction is the security guarantee of economic construction, and national defense modernization is an important part of China's socialist modernization. Strengthening national defense is the basic guarantee of national security and economic development.

Practice has proved that it is of great significance to build a solid national defense and a strong armed force. Since the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the people's democratic dictatorship in China has been consolidated, our motherland has been defended, and China's international prestige has been continuously improved.
