Ideology is undermining China’s drive to prepare forces for combat
In a scene halfway through “Skyfighters”, produced in 2011 by the PLA’s August First Film Studio, an air-force division commander wants to conduct a night exercise to simulate combat conditions. His young deputy disagrees, citing bad visibility. Besides, the pilots are getting some rest . As tempers flare, a third officer intervenes. This is the political commissar, whose job it is to maintain the Communist Party’s control of the PLA. “Don’t quarrel!” he barks.
The Soviet Union also had political commissars in its armed forces but usually gave commanding officers ultimate authority. Still, commissars on those submarines were empowered to ensure that orders were executed. And confusion aboard Soviet navy vessels was not uncommon. One of the cold war’s diciest moments came when American forces surrounded a Soviet submarine in the Sargasso Sea during the Cuban missile crisis.
