Information technologies have been extensively used in Chinese army and helped to modernize the country's armed forces, according to sources at a meeting in Nanjing, capital of east China's Jiangsu Province.
At present, over 1,000 multi-media labs have been constructed in China's military schools and a web site on military training is accessible to all army schools.
A remote education platform has also been established for incumbent soldiers and officers to receive higher education without putting aside their army obligations.
New education methods have also been adopted in military training and help to educate many military professionals equipped with both modern information technologies and strong innovation awareness.
