State and Army

Our principle is that the Party commands the gun .

我们的原则是党指挥枪。

With this army of ours, the Party commands the gun, and not vice versa.

我们这个军队是党指挥枪，不是枪指挥党。

According to the Marxist theory of the state, the army is the chief component of state power.从马克思主义关于国家学说的观点看来，军队是国家政权的主要成分。

Our army should always be loyal to our Party, to the people, to our country and to socialism.

我们的军队始终要忠于党，忠于人民，忠于国家，忠于社会主义。

We must ensure that the army is forever loyal to our Party, to the people, to our country and to socialism.

确保军队永远忠于党，忠于人民，忠于国家，忠于社会主义。

The PLA men defend our great motherland day and night.

人民解放军日日夜夜保卫我们伟大的祖国。

This shows that the people's army is truly a great wall of steel guarding the Party and the country.

这表明，人民子弟兵真正是党和国家的钢铁长城。

Thus it is of vital importance to upholding the centralized power of the Party and unity of the state and safeguarding the authority of the CPC Central Committee.

维护党和国家的集中统一，维护中央的权威，是极端重要的。
