My Way News - China pledges to cut 300,000 troops from its massive army
My Way News reports: "Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday pledged to cut China's 2.3
million-member People's Liberation Army by 300,000 troops, amid rising
manpower costs and technological capabilities that reduce the need for
large numbers of personnel.
The announcement at the start of a massive parade in Beijing
commemorating Japan's World War II defeat 70 years ago brings the armed
forces' headcount down to about 2 million, still making it the world's
largest standing military."
