PLA Soldier

As seen in topic, my porblem is that I wish to know would it be possible for non-chinese citizen to join PLÀ? This not a joke, I´m talking dead-serious about this.

bd popeye

In my short 5 year study study of the PLA the answer is no.

The answer can be found in this link below.

Thank you for your answer. But, would it be then possible if I would give up my old citizenship and gain chinese citizenship?

bd popeye

Nope..Someone asked that question previously..several years ago in fact. Perhaps in this thread or in the old ez board days of 5 years ago.

You have to be Chinese citizen of the Peoples Republic of China to join the PLA. All others need not apply.

You >>> PLA soldier <<<cannot join! Join the Army in your home country would be your best bet..

edit 5 minutes later... Let's see as near as I figure you live in Finland and are only 15 years old according to your profile. So in most countries you have to be 17 or 18 to join the military. So just wait until then.

What about Chinese turned into American citizen and then to Chinese citizen?

bd popeye

Nope.

I should have stated a natural born Chinese citizen.

Tibetans & Mongolians & Uyghuｒs are doing service in PLA. If they are chinese citizen.

I was working in China, and I watched CCTV7 regularly. There was a Uyghu girl in PLA medical unit going round villages giving health aid. I remember she was an officer but I forgot her rank.

There are also many non-Han PLA soldiers in Inner Mongolia and Guangxi provinces. Zhuan people in Guangxi are non-Han Chinese.

But I was born in China! I just got my citizenship here for college .

Although people from Hong Kong and Macau are legally Chinese citizen, they do have different passport.

Sorry but this claim is not true, it's not unusual for Chinese minorities to serve in PLA:


Here's an example of an Uygur officer:

And a Tibetan officer:

That's not true. In the history of PLA, there were many people from other countries, including USA, Canada, and India joined PLA. In fact two of the most famous WWII era military doctors were Canadian and Indian.

Today you could see Tibetan, Mongolian, Korean and Urger soldiers in uniforms in different ranks.
