On July 20th, the reporter saw at the Aolunwula Frontier Defense Company,
the remotest company under the Baynnur Military Sub-Command, that soldier Lai
Xizheng was reading the PLA Daily of that day on a computer-screen. In the
ongoing activities of maintaining the advanced nature of the Party members, the
Party committee of the Bayenaoer Military Sub-Command decided to download the
Internet version of the PLA Daily onto its LAN. In the past 50 years, the
officers and men were unable to read the PLA Daily of the same day. With the
measures above taken, such days have gone forever.
Located in the depths of the Gobi Desert in west Inner Mongolia, the
officers and men of the Bayenaoer Military Sub-Command had to rely on the local
postal cars to deliver newspapers to them once a week. Last year the Bayenaoer
Military Sub-Command took the imitative to get contact with a local networking
company to jointly raise over 5 million yuan, with which it laid an optical
communication line connecting all its frontier units. Thus its frontier units,
which used to be ill-informed due to the remoteness of their locations, now have
quick access to information.
