PLA now called the Chinese Army

[LetsGetRowdy]

article from 2010.

March 23, 2010: Without any fanfare, China has changed the names of its armed forces. Gone are the PLA (Peoples Liberation Army) prefix for the navy (PLAN) and air force (PLAAF). It's now just the Chinese Army, Chinese Navy and Chinese Air Force. Since there was no official announcement, there was no explanation for why the old PLA prefix was dropped. The PLA was the original armed forces, founded in 1927, of the Chinese Communist Party. This force was initially known as the Chinese Red Army. After World War II, the PLA name was formally adopted for all the communist armed forces.
For the last two decades, China has been working to modernize its armed forces, and this name change appears to be a minor part of that.

i thought chink army

An ESPN editor was fired yesterday for using the derogatory term you used when he was referencing NY Knicks phenom Jeremy Lin .....

Anyway it should be called the Commie Chinese Army to distinguish it over the Republican Chinese Army, the true "Chinese" Army.

yes, they are indeed true chinese. taiwan is 98% han chinese. no amount of political ideology can change your blood.

The names changes are good for the Chinese Navy and Chinese Air force. Now they are independent entities that are not under the Chinese army directly controls. Their impotants are duly recognized, as it should be.

It also means China's defense strategies are changing too. Instead of just aiming to defend her borders previously, now she is shifting toward a more offensive posture.

once china reunites with chinese taipei, the name change will carry on perfectly.

PLA >>>>> useless ROC army at any day

Anyway, we won't change it, even Taiwan does unify with us, only they will follow our conformity, not vice versa.

Commie Chinese is recognized by the world since 1971 we took their UN spot. The True Chinese Army could not stop the peoples revolution even after being aided by the USA.

you mean the regime forces led by Japanese and American traitors that killed 1 million people in 1 day through drowning and with the blood of 100 million on their hands.

The KMT regime is worse than Hitler and Stalin combined.
