China has reshuffled its top armed forces agency, the Central Military Commission, as President Xi Jinping accelerates the massive, multilevel reform of the Chinese military.
The previous four military headquarters, namely, staff, politics, logistics and armaments, were dismantled and their functions and duties are now shared by 15 new agencies under the Central Military Commission.
Xi is also chairman of the Central Military Commission. When meeting leaders of the new agencies, Xi said the rearrangement of the commission itself has basically concluded. He describes the move as "a breakthrough" and "a crucial step" towards a stronger military.
He adds that military leaders need to sharpen their political alertness and become better at discerning right and wrong in political matters.
President Xi has urged the new organs to focus on improving the army's combat capability and readiness so it can win modern warfare.
Commanders have been asked to spend more time studying and researching important military issues.

China's Internet regulator has asked Internet users to support the judicial organ during a live open trial of a video service firm suspected of spreading pornography.
The Cyberspace Administration of China says all Internet-based service providers must bear legal responsibility for their content, which is a fundamental principle of the development of China's Internet.
The administration says it firmly supports the legal investigation of Qvod's case involving pornography. It hopes that Internet users stick to the bottom line in making opinions online and support the judicial organs handling of the case.
The move came as four executives of Qvod stood trail in Beijing earlier this month. They have been charged with spreading pornography for profit. The trial was broadcast live online.
Wang Xin, CEO of Qvod, claims that the company itself is not responsible for spreading information. He blames the pornographic content on third parties.
According to the prosecution, 21,000 of the 30,000 files police obtained from the servers of Qvod contained pornography content.
The court did not announce verdicts at the trial.
Founded in 2007, Qvod offered videos through peer-to-peer video streaming technology, and its user base quickly grew to 300 million.
