People's Liberation Army Militia → Militia (China) – Per Chinese law, the Militia is technically not part of the PLA. 58.163.134.55 (talk) 15:02, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Can you provide an English source that provides the name of the milita? Garuda28 (talk) 16:13, 25 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Law of the People's Republic of China on National Defence, Article 22:
 * Article 22 The armed forces of the People’s Republic of China are composed of the active and reserve forces of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army, the Chinese People’s Armed Police Force and the Militia.
 * The active components of the Chinese People’s Liberation Army constitute the standing force of the State and mainly shoulders the task of defence operations and may, when necessary, assist in maintaining public order in accordance with the provisions of law. The reserve components shall, in peacetime, undergo training in accordance with regulations and may, when necessary, assist in maintaining public order in accordance with the provisions of law and, in wartime, shall be turned into active components according to the mobilization order issued by the State.
 * The Chinese People’s Armed Police Force, under the leadership and command of the State Council and the Central Military Commission, shoulders the tasks of security and maintenance of public order, as entrusted by the State.
 * The Militia, under the command of military organs, shoulders the tasks of preparations against war and defence operations and assists in maintaining public order.


 * Even if there is no official full name for the Chinese/PRC/CPC militia (since they are just "militia"), the page shall be titled militia in China or militia (China), like militia (United States), Militia (United Kingdom), Militia (Great Britain), Militia (British Dominions and Crown Colonies).
 * The so-called "People's Liberation Army Militia" has no official or academic source in English or Chinese. It contradicts the fact and common sense that the militia is not part of the regular Army. Is is not supported by its emblem with a name in Chinese and pinyin which literally reads "China Militia".

 * I’m in agreement. I’ll wait a few days before making the move to Militia (China) so others can comment. Garuda28(talk) 04:35, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

 * support. The reasoning and sourcing for this proposal are sound. The style Militia (China) seems a bit clumsy, but I can’t think of anything better and it matches the corresponding articles for other countries.-- JohnBlackburne wordsdeeds 08:26, 28 April 2018 (UTC)
