Minitrue: ‘Blue’ Captures ‘Red’ in PLA Military Exercise

The following censorship instructions, issued to the media by government authorities, have been leaked and distributed online. The name of the issuing body has been omitted to protect the source.

Please find and delete the article “In PLA Exercises, ‘Blue Army’ Captures ‘Red Army’ Commander with Cabbage Ruse.” (September 1, 2014)

On August 28, the state run Global Times published an article [Chinese] on a PLA military exercise in which the “blue army” (representing an opposing force) used a ruse to capture the commanding officer of the “red army” (representing China’s PLA). In this summer’s PLA exercises, “blue” teams have met resounding success over their “red” opponents; last month in The Telegraph, Malcolm Moore reported that while these war games had been previously scripted in favor of the “red army,” this year’s exercises have been more spontaneous.

真Since directives are sometimes communicated orally to journalists and editors, who then leak them online, the wording published here may not be exact. The date given may indicate when the directive was leaked, rather than when it was issued. CDT does its utmost to verify dates and wording, but also takes precautions to protect the source.
