IV. Supporting National Economic and Social Development
The Constitution and relevant laws entrust China's armed forces with the important tasks of safeguarding the peaceful labor of the Chinese people, taking part in national development and serving the people wholeheartedly. Subordinate to and serving the overall situation of national reform and development, the armed forces of China actively participate in national development, emergency rescue and disaster relief, maintain social harmony and stability according to law, and endeavor to protect national development interests.
Participating in National Development
军队和武警部队在完成教育训练、战备执勤、科研试验等任务的前提下,围绕国家和地方经济社会发展规划部署,坚持把地方所需、群众所盼和部队所能结合起来,充分利用人才、装备、技术、基础设施等方面的资源和优势,积极支援地方基础设施重点工程、生态环境建设和社会主义新农村建设,扎实做好扶贫帮困、助学兴教、医疗扶持等工作,为促进地方经济发展、社会和谐、民生改善作出重要贡献。
援建基础设施重点工程。发挥水电、交通、工程、测绘等专业部队的优势,支援国家和各地交通、水利、能源、通信等关系国计民生的基础设施建设。2011年以来,共投入劳动日1500多万个,动用机械车辆120多万台次,援建机场、公路、铁路、水利枢纽等省以上重点工程350多项。武警水电部队先后参加云南糯扎渡、四川锦屏、西藏旁多等水利水电和铁路、天然气管道工程建设115项。武警交通部队承建新疆天山公路、甘肃洛塘河特大双层桥梁、西藏墨脱公路嘎隆拉隧道等172个项目,建设里程3250公里。
Under the precondition of accomplishing such tasks as education, training, combat readiness duties, and scientific research and experiments, the PLA and PAPF center their efforts on national and local plans and arrangements for economic and social development; persist in combining PLA and PAPF capabilities with local governments' needs and local people's expectations; make full use of their resources and advantages in personnel, equipment, technology and infrastructure; actively support local key infrastructure projects, ecological environment conservation and new socialist rural area development; and take solid steps to support poverty-alleviation initiatives, give financial aid to education and provide medical service support. They thereby make significant contributions to promoting local economic development, social harmony and the improvement of people's livelihood.
Supporting key infrastructure projects. China's armed forces bring into full play the advantages of hydroelectric, transportation, engineering and cartographic units, and support national and local infrastructure construction related to national economy and people's livelihood in such areas as transportation, water conservancy, energy and communications. Since 2011, the PLA and PAPF have contributed more than 15 million work days and over 1.2 million motor vehicles and machines, and have been involved in more than 350 major province-level (and above) projects of building airports, highways, railways and water conservancy facilities. The PAPF hydroelectric units have partaken in the construction of 115 projects concerning water conservancy, hydropower, railways and gas pipelines in Nuozhadu (Yunnan), Jinping (Sichuan) and Pangduo (Tibet). In addition, PAPF transportation units have undertaken the construction of 172 projects, including highways in the Tianshan Mountains in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the double-deck viaduct bridge over the Luotang River in Gansu Province and the Galungla Tunnel along the Medog Highway in the Tibet Autonomous Region, with a total length of 3,250 km.
