PLA: The Chinese People Must Always Remain Sober-Minded and Vigilant Even in Times of Peace

Published at Mar 02, 2026 03:46 pm
As tensions escalate in Iran, the official media platform representing the Chinese military, "Junzhengping," published a brief commentary, pointing out that the current international situation is complex and volatile, with risks and challenges lurking beneath the surface. Staying vigilant in times of peace is a survival wisdom deeply rooted in the Chinese nation's bloodline. Only by maintaining a sense of urgency and taking precautions for a rainy day can we safeguard the hard-won peace and stability.

"Junzhengping" is the official media platform of the PLA, overseen by the PLA News Communication Center. It operates with "A Burden of Great Responsibility, Commitment to Justice, and Calm Rationality" as its core philosophy, and is mainly responsible for interpreting major military decisions and deployments online and guiding military-related public opinion.

The commentary states that peace has never simply dropped from the sky, nor will the specter of war be driven away by prayer alone. Looking at human history, the law of the jungle still prevails, and the strong prey upon the weak has never exited the stage. At present, the international situation is complex and changeable, with risks and challenges surging beneath the surface. The slightest slackening of vigilance may bring irreparable losses to the country and its people.

The piece also says that staying vigilant in times of peace is a survival wisdom deeply woven into the fabric of the Chinese nation. Every Chinese son and daughter should clearly recognize: in times of peace, never forget the possibility of danger; in times of order, never forget the risk of chaos. Only by maintaining a sense of urgency and making arrangements in advance can we defend the hard-earned peace and stability.
