全军官兵深入学习贯彻习近平主席在庆祝中国共产党成立105周年大会上的重要讲话精神

PLA Daily (解放军报) 9 July 2026

Summary

MND spokesperson Senior Colonel Chen Xi announced on July 9 that PLA party organizations at all levels have been directed to treat study of Xi Jinping's July 1 speech — delivered at the CCP's 105th founding anniversary rally — as a 'major political task,' using a four-method study framework (word-for-word, in-depth, connected to actual conditions, and under strict supervision). This is standard political work content following a major leadership address; its value is as a baseline record of how the MND frames the transmission of Xi's ideological directives down through the force, specifically the linkage drawn between party loyalty, the 2027 centenary of army building target, and 'combat readiness' as unified institutional obligations.
