It is an important guarantee for safeguarding national security and unity and building a well-off society in an all-round way. As a member of the Chinese nation, it is our bounden duty to attach importance to, build and defend national defense. China has a long history of national defense. As early as the 20th century BC, China's ancient society had been transformed into a slave society and a state had been established.
Since then, as a tool to resist foreign invasion and crusade against other countries, national defense has emerged. China's national defense has experienced different historical development stages, such as slave society, feudal society, semi-colonial and semi-feudal society and socialist society. In ancient China, many effective national defense policies and theories were put forward to improve the national defense capability:
The national defense guiding ideology of "people-oriented" and "prepare for danger in times of peace", the national defense construction ideology of "enriching the people and strengthening the country", the national defense education ideology of "patriotism teaching war" and "martial arts", and the national defense struggle strategy of "winning without fighting". Following these ideas, China won numerous foreign wars, and the heyday of "China suppressed and the four oceans surrendered" appeared.
After the "prosperous period of kanggan", the politics of the Qing dynasty became increasingly corrupt and the national defense became increasingly weak, eventually becoming a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society. China's modern national defense was weak, declining and humiliating. After the founding of the Republic of China, it has not changed the history of the China people being trampled upon by others. Imperialism fostered warlords of various factions as agents and stepped up the plunder of China.
Warlords of various factions are fighting for power and profit, and the struggle is constant. China is still unstable, there is no coastal defense, and the people have no home. History tells us that being a soldier is a national event, the country is politically enlightened, the country is rich and the army is strong, militancy will die, and forgetting the war will be dangerous. 1949, 10, 1 year 10, the people of China declared the founding of the Republic of China, thus ending the Chinese nation's history of 100.
People's Republic of China (PRC) has made great achievements in national defense and military modernization since its founding 60 years ago. The military's weapons and equipment have been upgraded and its combat effectiveness has been greatly improved, which has made great contributions to safeguarding national sovereignty and security, safeguarding national modernization and promoting world peace. Modern national defense is the inheritance and development of traditional national defense, and it is a brand-new national defense concept and practice.
Modern national defense is no longer a simple military contest, but a general contest based on comprehensive national strength and combining military means with political, economic, scientific and technological and diplomatic means. Only when a country's economy continues to grow stronger, science and technology continue to develop, national defense strength continues to increase, national defense security awareness continues to consolidate, and it is good-neighborly and friendly with neighboring countries can it truly achieve long-term stability.
Modern national defense is the embodiment of comprehensive national strength, which is based on comprehensive national strength. There is an old saying in China: "Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world". With the expansion of the connotation of national defense, the comprehensive promotion of national defense capability will inevitably involve various fields and fronts, thus forming an inseparable connection with the whole society.
China pursues defensive national defense. As a socialist country, China has always adhered to the Five Principles of Peaceful Coexistence in its foreign relations, and publicly promised the world that it will never seek hegemony, never become a superpower, never be the first to use or threaten to use nuclear weapons, never use nuclear weapons against non-nuclear countries and regions, and never invade other countries. Take a defensive stance strategically.
The purpose of China's national defense construction is to oppose the war of aggression, safeguard world peace, and safeguard national security and development. In the use of national defense forces, adhere to the position of self-defense and implement the strategic policy of active defense. China's socialist system and national defense policy, as well as its defensive military strategy, determine that China's national defense is defensive, which is essentially different from countries that pursue hegemonism and power politics.
National defense laws and regulations: the sum total of legal norms regulating various social relations in the fields of national defense and army building. China's national defense laws and regulations include:
1. People's Republic of China (PRC)'s national defense law is a basic departmental law that comprehensively adjusts and regulates China's national defense and army building, and is formulated according to the Constitution.
2. The Military Service Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) mainly stipulates China's military service system, citizens' obligations and rights in military service, peacetime conscription and wartime mobilization, military training for reservists, military training for students in institutions of higher learning and senior middle schools, and penalties for violating the military service law.
3. The National Defense Education Law of People's Republic of China (PRC) occupies an important position in the national defense legal system, and it is the basic law and departmental law in the national defense legal system;
4. People's Republic of China (PRC) Civil Air Defense Law and People's Republic of China (PRC) National Defense Mobilization Law.
With the development of the people and the country, China has made great achievements in national defense construction, and gradually established a modern national defense construction with China characteristics. Since the founding of New China, China has forged a modern people's army, established a relatively complete national defense mobilization system and formed a comprehensive and comprehensive national defense science, technology and industry system.
It has safeguarded national unity and security and made positive contributions to maintaining world peace. As a big country, in the process of China's rise, crises, conflicts and wars are inevitable. National defense is closely related to the country. National defense construction must implement the strategic policy of active defense, make clear the nature of China's self-defense and defense, and make clear China's firm stand of maintaining peace and opposing hegemony.
