Description:

The documentary traces Xi Jinping’s decade of military reform, charting the bloody power struggle over the armed forces, the sweeping structural changes from troop cuts to theater command reorganization, the rise of China’s defense industry, and the ongoing anti‑corruption campaigns that have reshaped the PLA’s leadership. It examines how the 2015 “September 3rd Parade” and subsequent reforms—cutting 300,000 troops, dissolving the four general departments, creating the Rocket Force and Strategic Support Force—altered the military’s hierarchy, while also exploring the rapid development of carriers, stealth fighters, missile systems, and the Beidou navigation network. The film interrogates whether these reforms have truly improved combat readiness and governance or merely perpetuated a cycle of corruption and purge, and invites viewers to analyze the decade through lenses of power, organization, technology, and spending.
