In December 2012, President Xi put forward the important conclusion that "running the military according to law and strictly is the foundation of a strong military". In December 2014, President Xi further proposed that "running the military according to law and strictly is the basic strategy of our Party for building and running the military". In November 2021, the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) put forward the "strategy of running the military according to law", which is an important decision made by the CPC Central Committee to grasp the characteristics and laws of building and running the military in the new era and proceed from the overall situation of building a strong military.
