Two modern armies have been known in English as the Chinese Army:
- People's Liberation Army of the People's Republic of China
- Republic of China Army (on Taiwan), which succeeded the National Revolutionary Army in 1947
For Chinese armies before 1912, see:

Famous quotes containing the word army:
“Man is the end of nature; nothing so easily organizes itself in every part of the universe as he; no moss, no lichen is so easily born; and he takes along with him and puts out from himself the whole apparatus of society and condition extempore, as an army encamps in a desert, and where all was just now blowing sand, creates a white city in an hour, a government, a market, a place for feasting, for conversation, and for love.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
