From the Peoples Daily:

Jiang Zemin, chairman of Central Military Commission (CMC), called on the country's armed forces to get fully aware of the changing situation, accelerate the pace of modernization, perform their sacred mission of safeguarding state security and national unification.

When an officially atheist state gives its military a "sacred mission," watch out.
