You'd think the marriage game is hard enough these days in China with many more men than women, huge differences in wealth and rapidly changing social and cultural norms, let alone getting the PLA involved. The SCMP:

The People's Liberation Army has renewed a call for soldiers to refrain from cohabiting before marriage and having extramarital affairs. A report in the PLA Daily newspaper also urged members to choose spouses from Chinese citizens who are "politically reliable", of "progressive thinking" and of "upright conduct".

Citing a regulation governing marriages of PLA officers issued in 2001, the army also encourages late marriage by officers, after 25 years of age for men and 23 years for women. As an incentive to encourage late marriages, officers who wed after the specified age will be given an extra seven-day holiday, in addition to the three days of wedding-leave entitlement.

Single 25 year old officer looking for politically reliable, progressive thinking woman of upright conduct to be lawfully wedded spouse. Must be 23 years or older and prepared for extra one week holiday to celebrate our union.

Please apply immediately to my unit's commissar.
