Stating that "People cannot be born without a soul, and an army cannot stand without a soul. The Party's
absolute leadership over the army is the foundation of the people's army and the soul of a strong army", an
article in the PLA Daly (January 21) highlighted the importance of political work in the PLA. It said, "Under
the new historical conditions, China's security and development are facing a more severe situation, the struggle in the ideological field has become more acute and complex, and the contest between "casting the
soul" and "souling the soul" is more intense. Therefore, it is even more necessary to strengthen the role of
the lifeline of our military's political work, especially to unswervingly adhere to the dominance of Marxism
in the ideological field, to thoroughly study and implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese
Characteristics for a New Era and Xi Jinping Thought on Strengthening the Army, Firm ideals and beliefs,
and build a strong spiritual pillar, so that our army will have a firm and correct political direction, and will
have infinite combat effectiveness and vigorous vitality"
