China trains tech-savvy servicemen(2)

"In the past, I learned aimlessly and didn't know where to start. Now I can find an online tutor," said Yi Jinkui, a squad leader.

Zhang said that the system can also keep officers updated on soldiers' comments, demands and complaints, as they can make anonymous survey on the system.

"We used to make paper print surveys, which often cost one or two weeks to figure out the results," Zhang said. "With the new system, the result can come out immediately after soldiers finish surveys on the Intranet."

Soldiers are also free to ask questions anonymously through the system, allowing them to seek guidance from their fellow soldiers on topics ranging from military training to personal issues such as marriage.

"The system features the best resources in the area, providing the soldiers with better service and giving us a useful tool," said Zheng Hong, a military psychologist.
