Since he assumed CMC Chairman, Xi has reviewed the armed forces several times, including one in Tian'anmen Square in 2015 marking the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, one at the heartland of Inner Mongolia in 2017, and two off the coast aboard warships in 2018 and 2019, keenly aware of the necessity of building a strong military for the sake of preventing wars and sustaining peace.
"China will stay on the path of peaceful development," Xi said in his National Day speech. "We will continue to work with people from all countries to push for jointly building a community with a shared future for humanity."
