Whether it is the armed police, it is the internal security force, and the army is the national defense force.

Let me introduce to you the following differences between the People's Liberation Army of China and the Armed Police, and you will understand!

The differences between the People's Liberation Army of China and the Chinese People's Armed Police Force (Armed Police):

1. Similarities

First of all, as the national armed forces, the People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police are both important components.

Second, both have experienced multiple developments and evolutions in various periods. The People's Liberation Army has gone through the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, the Eighth Route Army, the New Fourth Army, and now the Chinese People's Liberation Army before it can achieve the unified organization and designation of the entire army; and the Armed Police has also experienced the Chinese People's Public Security Force, the Chinese People's Liberation Army Public Security Force, the Chinese People's Liberation Army, and the Chinese People's Liberation Army. The People's Liberation Army Public Security Force, the People's Armed Police, the Chinese People's Public Security Force, and the Chinese People's Armed Police Force were reorganized into the Chinese People's Liberation Army until now.

Thirdly, with the progress of history, changes in the international and domestic situations and their own development, both have gradually developed into multiple arms. The People's Liberation Army has land, sea, air, second artillery, etc., and the armed police has more It is divided into eight police types, including internal security, forestry, gold, water and electricity, transportation, border defense, fire protection, and security, and is known as the "Eighth Route Army."

Fourth, let’s talk about a common sense question. In fact, the People’s Liberation Army and Armed Police Force soldiers are all active servicemen. Article 4 of the Military Service Law stipulates that the armed forces of the People’s Republic of China shall be controlled by the Chinese people. It is composed of the People's Liberation Army, the Chinese People's Armed Police Force and the militia. Active military personnel include the Chinese People's Liberation Army and the Chinese People's Armed Police Force.

Fifth, implement different national laws and regulations, including the Military Service Law, the National Defense Law, etc., and even the three major regulations we often talk about (queue regulations, disciplinary regulations, and internal affairs regulations) They are all exactly the same.

To sum up, the People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police are both important components of the country's armed forces. Officers and soldiers are all active servicemen, both serving the country and the safety of people's lives and property, and serving the people.

2. Differences

First of all, the leadership system is different. The People's Liberation Army implements a single top-down vertical leadership of the Central Military Commission; and according to the provisions of the National Defense Law, the State Council and the Central Military Commission implement dual leadership over the Armed Police Force. That is to say, the Armed Police Force not only accepts the leadership of the Central Military Commission, but also accepts the leadership of the State Council. lead.

Secondly, the functions are different. According to Article 3 of the Internal Affairs Regulations of the Chinese People's Liberation Army, the mission of the Chinese People's Liberation Army is to consolidate national defense, resist aggression, defend the People's Republic of China and the socialist system, protect the people's peaceful labor, and serve the people wholeheartedly;

The Chinese People’s Armed Police Force, in peacetime, guards the safety of party and government organs, some state leaders, important foreign guests, and large gatherings; implements armed vigilance and armed custody in prisons and reform-through-labour correctional facilities; and cooperates with public security organs to arrest people in accordance with the law. , hunt down and escort criminals; guard radio stations, television stations, key departments of the national economy, defense industry, national defense scientific research, etc., as well as civilian airports, important bridges, tunnels and other targets; carry out border defense and fire fighting, etc. During wartime, cooperate with the People's Liberation Army to defend border and coastal defenses and resist enemy invasion; participate in urban defense and battles to protect important targets, organize air defense; organize the protection of important civilian airports, stations, bridges and tunnels; guard important radio stations, Targets such as factories, warehouses and scientific research facilities, cover industrial facilities and population evacuation; crack down on sabotage activities by enemy agents and lawless elements, ensure social order in combat areas and the safety of the people;

Secondly, the People’s Liberation Army is Group operations, regardless of troop operations or training or exercises, often involve an army or a group army. The armed police usually operate on a small scale, one squad or one platoon. If a squadron is used, it is considered a big operation, let alone a detachment level operation. Well, the biggest operation I personally experienced was only at the brigade level, and it was just a dozen elites from each squadron.

Other differences do not seem to be very important, such as clothing, equipment, etc.

So the difference between the People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police is that one is to resist foreign aggression and consolidate national defense; the other is to undertake domestic security tasks and maintain social stability.

Historically, the People's Liberation Army and the Armed Police have a deep relationship. During this period, the Armed Police was merged into the People's Liberation Army several times.

Both of them came from scratch, from weak to strong, with profound marks of the times, and have experienced twists and turns and complicated changes. I have unwavering faith in their future and will definitely keep pace with the times and faithfully fulfill history. mission, comprehensively strengthen the revolutionization, modernization, and regularization of the army, and in the new historical period, work together towards new glory across the century.
