The political environment, organizational form, system of military strength and work style of the military have been reshaped over the past five years, Xi said.

After a military meeting held in Gutian, Fujian province, the Party has strengthened political work within the armed forces and made firm efforts in ensuring a clean environment and fighting corruption in the military.

Xi said that China has advanced the reform of national defense and the armed forces, making historic steps in building a system of military strength with Chinese characteristics.

"The system, structure, pattern and image of the army have all been renewed," he said.
