Summary

Machine summary

The PLA held a symposium in Beijing on August 14 to mark the centenary of Jiang Zemin's birth, reviewing his concept of advancing the 'revolution in military affairs with Chinese characteristics' (中国特色军事变革) and the dual standard of ensuring the army can 'win battles and will not change its nature' (打得赢、不变质). The event's substantive weight falls not on Jiang but on the closing injunctions: the framing subordinates his legacy to Xi Jinping's 'Two Establishments' (两个确立) and 强军思想, using the commemoration as a vehicle for reaffirming current ideological priorities. This is standard political-work content; its value is as a record of how the PLA institutionally positions a predecessor leader's military thought as a stepping stone to Xi's framework rather than as a parallel or competing authority.
