Since 2001, the Central Committee of the CPC, the State
Council and the CMC have promulgated and implemented the Provisional Measures
for Resettlement of Officers and Civil Cadres Transferred to Civilian Work and
related regulations and policies, providing for execution of the resettlement
mode to civilian work, whereby the state planned assignment of jobs and posts is
combined with finding jobs by oneself. Officers at the level of division or
regiment or at battalion-level with 18 years of military service (including
civil cadres at the corresponding levels and specialized technical officers who
enjoy corresponding status) can either be assigned civilian jobs according to
the unified plan or choose to find jobs by themselves. Those at or below the
battalion level with less than 18 years of military service are assigned
civilian work under the unified plan. The Party committees and governments are
responsible for arranging jobs and posts for officers and civil cadres
transferred to civilian work. Those who choose to find jobs by themselves may
seek assistance from the government in their job-finding and are entitled to a
monthly-paid service-discharge pension for life long with exemption from income
tax. Officers and civil cadres transferred to civilian work may settle at their
native places or the places where they were enlisted, or settle at the places
where their spouses lived before moving to accompany the servicemen or where
they were married. When they meet the required conditions, they may also settle
at the places where their parents, their spouses' parents, their spouses or
their children are permanent residents, or at the places where their troops are
stationed.
When conscripts have been discharged from active
service, the people's government of the county where they were enlisted makes
appropriate arrangements for them, depending on whether they are from the
countryside or city and whether they have received any awards for meritorious
service. Non-commissioned officers are resettled and arranged as transference to
civilian work, demobilization, or retirement from active service according to
their terms of service.

Chapter VI National Defense
Mobilization and Reserve Force Building
China adheres to the principle of
having all people engaged in national defense with an aim at giving full play to
the overall advantages of the present-day people's war so as to promote the
national defense mobilization and reserve force building on the basis of the
overall national strength.
Mobilization of National
Economy
As an important component of the
national defense building and economic construction, China's economic
mobilization follows the strategic thinking of soldiers and the people being the
foundationfor victory and the strategic concept of the people's war.
The mobilization of national economy
refers to activities whichimprove, in a planned and organized way, the emergency
reaction capabilities of national economy for national security. In peacetime,
as an important measure to build up the economic potentials for national defense
and to cope with contingencies, the mobilization of national economy balances
the proportion of the permanent power of the defense economy to the national
economy,and constitutes a powerful deterrence to war. In wartime, the
mobilization of national economy is an important guarantee to transfer the
national defense economic potentials into national defense capabilities to win
the war by way of a rapid and orderly shift of the national economic system from
a peacetime state to a wartime state. The mobilization of national economy
includes mobilizations in the areas of industry, agriculture, communicationand
transport, post and telecommunications, science and technology,medical care and
health, urban construction, commerce and trade, and finance. The capacity to
mobilize national economy is an important indicator of the level of both
national defense modernization and the overall national strength.
Under the leadership of the State Council and CMC, the PRC Development and Reform Commission is responsible for the mobilization of national economy. The National Economy Mobilization Office is the administrative organ which is primarilyresponsible for: organizing and implementing the mobilization of national economy throughout the country; coordinating relations between the military and economic work, between government organizations and military systems and between the Central Government and the local governments in the process of mobilization; properly combining peacetime needs with wartime needs and integrating military purposes with civilian ones in the development of national economy; improving the mechanism for mobilization of national economy and the capabilities to shift from peacetime to wartime footing. All services and arms of the PLA and all military area commands as well as the ministries and commissions concerned under the State Council along with all provinces (including autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the Central Government) have set up corresponding offices for mobilization of national economy.
