Reporting the PLA's leadership's New Year's message to PLA personnel, the Liberation Army Daily on January 1, 2015, observed that China's "surrounding situation is generally stable", but added that "some Western countries stepped up and instigated "color revolution", intensified the implementation of online "Cultural Cold War" and "political transgenic" project, and escalated attempts to uproot the soul of our military officers and soldiers". It said that the army faces grim challenges from attempts to separate the PLA from the Party's banner and dilute its ideological and political commitment. It urged PLA officers and soldiers to effectively enhance the sense of mission awareness, and resolutely obey the Central Military Commission with Chairman Xi in command.
