By Sun Xingwei, Gao Lei, Li Chao
Beijing, Dec. 17 Eight military and local authorities have implemented a special operation to jointly crack down upon the illegal manufacture and sale of military uniforms since July this year. In a recent interview, a chief of the Military Supplies and Energy Bureau under the Logistic Support Department of China s Central Military Commission (CMC) introduced some details of the special operation.
Reasons for the special operation
Military uniforms are closely related with the interests of service members and is of great political and military significance for their political symbolism, military identification function, and protective function. The unpermitted wearing and use of military uniforms will leave loopholes for law breakers in peacetime and for enemy’s military penetration in wartime, seriously undermining our defense and military security.
