Two modern armies have been known in English as the Chinese Army:
- People's Liberation Army of the People's Republic of China
- Republic of China Army (on Taiwan), which succeeded the National Revolutionary Army in 1947
For Chinese armies before 1912, see:

Famous quotes containing the words chinese and/or army:
“Only by the form, the pattern,
Can words or music reach
The stillness, as a Chinese jar still
Moves perpetually in its stillness.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Why not draft executive and management brains to prepare and produce the equipment the $21-a-month draftee must use and forget this dollar-a-year tommyrot? Would we send an army into the field under a dollar-a-year General who had to be home Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays?”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
