People's Republic of China (PRC) Military Service Law
Article 18 Soldiers in active service include soldiers in compulsory military service and soldiers in voluntary military service. Soldiers who perform compulsory military service are called conscripts, and soldiers who perform voluntary military service are called non-commissioned officers.
Article 19 The term of active service for conscripts shall be two years.
Article 20 Upon the expiration of active service, a conscript may, according to the needs of the army, be changed to a non-commissioned officer on his own initiative and with the approval of a unit at or above the regimental level. According to the needs of the army, non-commissioned officers can be recruited directly from citizens with professional skills in non-military departments.
Non-commissioned officers take active service and implement a graded service system. The term of active service for non-commissioned officers is generally not more than 30 years, and the age is not more than 55 years.
Measures for the graded service of non-commissioned officers and the direct recruitment of non-commissioned officers from non-military departments shall be formulated by the State Council and the Central Military Commission (CMC).
Article 21 Soldiers shall be discharged from active service after the expiration of their active service. If it is necessary to retire from active service due to the reduction of military posts, if it is proved by military hospitals that my health condition is not suitable for continuing active service, or if it is necessary to retire from active service for other special reasons, I can retire from active service ahead of schedule with the approval of organs at or above the division level.
The time when a soldier retires from active service is the day when the army announces the order to retire from active service.
