BEIJING, Nov. 28 (Xinhua) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping has stressed thorough military talent cultivation to support and lead progress in strengthening the armed forces.

Xi noted the need to cultivate a new type of high-quality and professional military personnel, and stressed upholding the absolute leadership of the CPC over the military in the whole process and all aspects of talent-related work.
