Army Daily: We are a Force that Can Never be Defeated
����Sunday's Liberation Army Daily front-paged an
editorial titled, "We are a Force that Can Never be Defeated", to mark the 72nd
founding anniversary of the People 's Liberation Army (PLA).
����The editorial pointed out that the PLA, under the
absolute leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) and equipped with scientific
theories, is a strong pillar of the people's democratic dictatorship.
����The editorial stressed that the history of the past 72
years shows that the PLA is a steel "Great Wall" defending the motherland, and
is an invincible force.
����The editorial said that the 72nd founding anniversary
of the PLA comes at a momentous period for the country's reform and army building.
����The invasion of Kosovo sounded a warning that peace
does not yet prevail in all parts of the world, and the threat of war is still present.
����At the same time, the editorial said, Lee Teng-hui's
recent remarks draw attention to the machinations of the splittist forces in Taiwan.
����In addition, the PLA has an arduous task to maintain
social stability at a time when people of all walks of life are refuting the sinister
claims of the Falun Gong cult, an illegal organization, the editorial said.
����The editorial stressed that the PLA will continue to be
led by the army-building theories of Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, listing political
education as the top priority while reinforcing the armed forces with science and
technology.
