Two modern armies have been known in English as the Chinese Army:

  • Republic of China Army (on Taiwan), which succeeded the National Revolutionary Army in 1947

Famous quotes containing the word army:

    It is necessary to turn political crisis into armed crisis by performing violent actions that will force those in power to transform the military situation into a political situation. That will alienate the masses, who, from then on, will revolt against the army and the police and blame them for this state of things.
    Carlos Marighella (d. 1969)
