Over 80 million Chinese have joined a nationwide campaign to impart knowledge on national defence and promote patriotism, state media reported today.

In accordance with the National Defence Education Law, governments and relevant departments conduct national defence educational activities to enhance awareness among the people, the government White Paper on National Defence, 2004 has said.

China conducts its national defence education mainly among civil servants, students, military and reservists.

As per the law, colleges, universities, senior high schools and their equivalents should develop their national defence education by linking their curricula with military training.

College and university students are obliged to receive basic military training. In 2003, some 1,100 colleges and universities and 11,500 senior high schools throughout China conducted military training and more than eight million students received such training.

National defence education has also been incorporated into school courses to provide students with national defence knowledge and education in patriotism.

Some primary and secondary schools have also introduced activities in the form of juvenile military schools with national defence education as the theme.
