The People's Armed Police Force was formed in 1983 when the PLA transferred its internal security and border defense to the Ministry of Public Security (see Public Security Forces , ch. 13). In wartime, the armed police, as part of China's armed forces, presumably would perform border defense and support functions in assisting the PLA.

Data as of July 1987
