"Founded in 1954, the XPCC was initially made up of about 175 thousand soldiers and their dependents, almost all Han Chinese...swelled by large numbers of demobilized military personnel, young people, intellectuals, scientists, and technicians"bsg.ox.ac.uk/sites/default/…
"Besides intensifying the militia training, XPCC is enhancing an emergency response mechanism with the local government. In the past, XPCC’s military role was diluted and decreasing. The centre has warned that XPCC should pay more attention to this aspect."
