The Liberation Army Daily on October 12, 2014, reported that the PLA's General Staff Headquarters had listed 40 problems with military training by its land, navy, air forces and artillery troops. These include: soldiers' personal problems; current methods and standards of military training; and issues of work style in the army. They were identified based on the assessment of troop performance in routine exercises or joint drills with foreign armies. President Xi Jinping, Chairman of Central Military Commission, cautioned that "If the problems are not rectified, the PLA's ability to fight and win will be hindered for sure. The list will help the army focus on its weaknesses and force them to learn how to fight."
