” International Herald Tribune “article at 0:00 on August 20, China’s Ministry of Defense official website of the official opening test run. Already looking forward to opening it at home and abroad for a long time. Earlier in the Security Council’s five permanent members, only China’s military is not the official site. China’s State Council departments in the various components, only the Ministry of Defense and National Security no website. For a long time, people understand the Chinese army authoritative information extremely difficult. Foreign correspondents often say, when they asked the Chinese Foreign Ministry press conference, and military issues, will be told to ask the Department of Defense, and they rarely get a reply in the Chinese Defense Ministry.

foreign correspondent so, ordinary people as well. Many military enthusiasts it is neither possible to visit the troops, the military do not see the army newspaper published. With the Chinese military that they respect and curiosity, wondering at the forum on the PLA exercise training, weapons development. A daily military operations are often transmitted on the network have to go like, “our military has certain advanced weapons to U.S. military appalled,” “secret special forces military cross-border operations” and other popular titles flooding the forum, blog space. In the communication, the Chinese army as it is being misinterpreted, “China’s military weakness” theory, “China strategy conspiracy theory” and “China military threat theory” and the proliferation of a variety of arguments, and the lack of official information in the correct circumstances are constantly looking for plausible evidence.

overseas military research is the use of Chinese military authority of the shortcomings of lack of information release, widely disseminated and discussed the issue of China’s military, which will inevitably mixed with the West’s position on China’s military construction and military strategy conferences and jump to the negative interpretation . Authority of the person such as the UK, “Jane’s” series, often controversial, such as those founded by Andrei Chang Han and Canada, have repeatedly issued Chinese new weapons and equipment, strategy and tactics articles. The U.S. annual release of “Chinese Military Power Report,” is a biennial with China, “Defense White Paper” form against constantly trying to shape the perspective of Western minds the image of the Chinese army in the world.

2008 earthquake in Sichuan, the People’s Liberation Army in strong relief, while strengthening the information forces, Defense Ministry spokesman debut. Analysis of many black and white, but also to face the news since the objective is issued to prevent a public disorder. Beijing Olympics, China’s further opening to foreign correspondents, news transparency and international standards. In this background, driven by the Defense Department Web site has finally come to fruition in time.

Indeed, trial run of Defense Web site is far from mature, all officers from the army newspaper website to change the network is facing security, content and other technical aspects of a large number of adjustments, but people need to do network concept, attitude, view on the emancipation of the mind. This process will be long, even the game is full of complex media and IT confrontation. But the world’s largest army finally increasingly affect the real world in cyberspace have a sense of the word territory.

In my view, China’s Ministry of Defense Web site is no simple military response to Western pressure and set transparent, but also disdain and overseas to guess, broke a living, “defense experts” and misled by the network to compete in, but not for the novelty of the heart to meet the fans that regularly publish new weapons. If this is the Department of Defense Web site launched to understand the meaning, no matter how welcome and praise With a heart, they always belittle it, it is equivalent to ordinary military or military products portal network.

China Ministry of Defence website is the continuation of the first people’s army tradition, the new era of communication in the army and the people of a new bridge, followed by China as the world, into the world to improve the soft power and international influence strategy One of the steps, and finally the tactical level of information dissemination, media integration, to win support, maintenance, image, communication and coordination platform. We believe that the Department of Defense Web site will be improving, the pattern is more atmospheric, more friendly interface, more available, people’s perception of it will become increasingly objective and comprehensive up.
