PoliticsChina revises national defense mobilization law for first time in 16 years
China’s revised National Defense Mobilization Law was approved on August 28 and will take effect on October 1, marking its first major revision since the law came into force in 2010. The changes broaden mobilization of civilian resources and critical sectors, and require men aged 18 to 60 and women aged 18 to 55 in principle to undertake national defense duties. Experts say the law institutionalizes civil-military integration, while Taiwanese businesses fear their assets could be forcibly acquired.
