August 1, 2022 marks the 95th Anniversary of the Founding of the People's Liberation Army of China (PLA).

The PLA is the people's armed forces created and led by the Communist Party of China. It has always marched in lockstep with the party and the country over the 95 years with historic contributions to China's national liberation, its socialist reform and development drives, and to defending China's sovereignty, security and development interests. It offers strong underpinnings on which regional stability and world peace can be upheld.
