The Chinese regime has revised its National Defense Education Law, which will take effect on Sept. 21.

The revisions allow the branches of the military of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), the People’s Liberation Army (PLA), to station in universities, colleges, and high schools across China to conduct a nationwide military education and training program approved by CCP’s state council and the party’s central military commission for recruitment.
