Xi Jinping calls for accelerated AI and unmanned tech in Chinese military

Chinese President Xi Jinping told the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to speed up the military use of artificial intelligence, unmanned systems and networked information technologies. He made the remarks at a Politburo study session held on the eve of the PLA’s 99th anniversary, urging the creation of an “intelligent military system” and stressing that combat capability remains the primary measure of modernisation.

Xi also ordered a stronger anti‑corruption drive within the armed forces, tighter supervision of major defence projects and reaffirmed the Communist Party’s absolute leadership over the military. The directives align with China’s targets to complete basic defence modernisation by 2035 and achieve full transformation for the PLA’s centenary in 2027.
