China's plan to reorganize the current military administration structure and command system, will not affect the country's defense policy, which is "defensive in nature," a spokesman for the National Defense Ministry said on Friday.

Yang Yujun told a press conference that "Chinese armed forces will always be a staunch force to safeguard world peace and regional stability," after President Xi Jinping announced on Thursday that all China's armed forces will be supervised and controlled by the top military organ, the Central Military Commission (CMC).

The current regional military commands will be regrouped into new battle zone commands under the CMC.

Xi's announcement in September that the military would cut 300,000 troops "has again demonstrated China's resolve to pursue a path of peaceful development," said Yang when asked whether the overhaul means adjustment to national defense policy.
