The 70th anniversary of the founding of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy

From 1949 to 2019, the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Navy has transformed itself from a small fleet into a major force that has safeguarded the country and its people against harm.

On April 23, 2019, the PLA Navy will hold an international military parade in Qingdao, east China’s Shandong province, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of its founding.
