The Virtue of Practicing Economy in Building a Strong Military
China's military always practices economy and never tolerates wasteful conduct. Everything should be done in a way that ensures that no money is wasted and that every cent counts. Measures are in place to conserve energy and other resources, reduce waste, and improve efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Compared with other major countries, China's defense spending is low, whether as a share of GDP or total government spending, or whether in terms of general per capita spending or spending per service member. Rigorous military budget management is essential to ensuring rational resource allocation and making the most of the available resources.
勤俭建军
中国军队始终坚持贯彻勤俭建军方针，发扬艰苦奋斗精神，坚持勤俭办一切事业，按照节约每一个铜板的精神花好每一分钱，大力推进节能降耗、资源节约工作，厉行节约、反对浪费，提高部队建设精准度和效费比。与世界主要国家相比，中国国防费无论是占国内生产总值和国家财政支出的比重，还是国民人均和军人人均数额，都处于较低水平，需要突出加强军费管理，科学确定投向投量，最大限度地提高经费保障效益，确保财力向战斗力有效转化。
