In addition, it should have more sharp, combative, convincing articles; take the lead in refuting wrong and inimical views in ideological and cultural fields and in protection of the Party’s ideological foundation. Moreover, it should participate in the fight against hostile forces’ plots of "peaceful evolution," "depoliticization of the military,” and other manifestations of political, moral, and lifestyle degradation, signs of "self-evolution," and "self-transformation," said General Giang.
