Abstract

This article examines how civil‐military relations have changed in China. This is conducted in the context of long‐term efforts to make the military more professional and to understand how civilians and soldiers interact today. Current analyses of Chinese civil‐military relations have focused on the military's professionalization. However, the recent evaluations do not entirely include the lessons learned from past professionalization phases in the People's Liberation Army's (PLA) history. I focus on the continuity between different events in China's civil and military history by looking at the critical links that made it possible for military professionalization to change what had happened before between the Chinese Communist Party and the PLA. The potential impact of further professionalization of the PLA in contemporary civil‐military interactions is also examined. En el contexto de los esfuerzos de larga data para profesionalizar las fuerzas armadas y comprender las interacciones civiles‐militares contemporáneas, este artículo examinará cómo han evolucionado las relaciones entre civiles y militares en China. Los análisis actuales de las relaciones entre civiles y militares chinos se han centrado en la profesionalización de las fuerzas armadas. Sin embargo, las evaluaciones recientes no incluyen completamente las lecciones aprendidas de las pasadas fases de profesionalización en la historia del Ejército Popular de Liberación (EPL). Al analizar las conexiones clave que permitieron que la profesionalización militar revirtiera sucesos anteriores entre el Partido Comunista Chino (PCCh) y el EPL, se ha centrado la atención en la continuidad entre diferentes eventos en la historia cívico‐militar de China. El impacto potencial de una mayor profesionalización del EPL en las interacciones civiles‐militares contemporáneas también se ha examinado en el estudio. 在关于军队职业化和当代军民互动的长期研究背景下,本文将分析军民关系在中国的演变过程。目前对中国军民关系的分析主要聚焦于军队的职业化。不过,近期评价并未完全包括从中国人民解放军(PLA)过去的职业化阶段中吸取的经验教训。在分析使军队职业化扭转中国共产党(CCP)和解放军以往事件的关键联系时,聚焦于中国军民史上不同事件之间的连续性。本研究还分析了解放军进一步职业化一事在当代军民互动中的潜在影响。
