"Here today, I'm announcing that we will be cutting the number of PLA troops by 300-thousand."


Chinese President Xi Jinping making the announcement of a reduction of the Chinese military over the next 2-years.


Yang Yujun with the Ministry 1 of Defense 2 says the reduction is in-line with the overall philosophy of the Chinese government.


"It is a significant political decision and declaration of the Communist Party of China and the government. It shows China always wants to show the banner of peace, development and cooperation. We have a mandate 3 to adhere to the path of peaceful development. We only have a defense policy that is defensive 4 in nature. China will remain a staunch force in maintaining regional stability and global peace."


Yang Yujun says the cuts announced by Xi Jinping are also a practical move.


"The move will mainly target troops equipped with outdated 5 armaments, administrative 6 staff and non-combatant personnel, to optimize 7 the structure of Chinese forces. The reform will adopt a step-by-step approach and will be completed by the end of 2017."


Xi Jinping's announcement of a military cut is the 4th since the Reform and Opening Up process first began in the early 1980s.


Back in 1985, more than a million soldiers were released by the PLA, the largest-ever cut in China.


Once again in 1997, another 500-thousand PLA positions were eliminated, reducing the total number of soldiers in the military to 2.5-million.


Another 200-thousand military positions were eliminated between 2003 and 2005, putting the PLA ranks at 2.3-million.


Yang Yujun says the cut will help accelerate the progress in information technology and boost military quality and that the country will maintain a moderate size of defense budget.


The Chinese government announced earlier this year that the Defense budget has been increased by 10-percent to around 145-billion U.S. dollars.


That's less than 1.5-percent of GDP.


The world average is 2.6-percent.


Chinese military spending is still less than one-fifth the amount the United States spends every year on its military.
