Chinese President Xi Jinping, in his role as chairman of the Central Military Commission (CMC), has rolled out updated regulations to enforce drug administration laws within the armed forces. The revised guidelines, jointly issued by China's State Council and the CMC, aim to ensure strict compliance with pharmaceutical protocols across military operations. Premier Li Qiang also backed the move by signing a State Council decree.
This update underscores China's push for enhanced accountability in military health management . Analysts suggest it aligns with broader national efforts to maintain disciplined, modern armed forces capable of addressing emerging challenges—from public health crises to advanced medical logistics.
While details of the revised guidelines remain classified, the announcement signals ongoing reforms in military governance. As one Weibo user commented: "Safety first, always—especially for our protectors."
