Summary

Machine summary

The CMC Political Work Department, the CPC Central Committee Party History and Documentation Research Institute, the National Radio and Television Administration, and China Media Group jointly produced a seven-episode documentary, 'The Great Expedition' (《伟大远征》), premiering on CCTV-1 in the 8:00 p.m. slot from October 15–21, with replays on CCTV-7 and distribution via 'Xuexi Qiangguo' (学习强国). The article frames the Long March name shared by the carrier rocket series and the PLA Navy's nuclear submarine fleet — including the Type 094 strategic nuclear submarine Long March-18, commissioned April 23, 2021 — as deliberate 'spiritual resonance and symbolic symbiosis' (精神共振与符号共生) linking contemporary strategic platforms to revolutionary heritage. This is standard political work content timed to the Long March's 90th anniversary; its value is as a record of how the CMC frames ideological continuity across the space and naval nuclear programs for a mass audience, not as evidence of any operational or doctrinal development.
