TheNational Defense University is anationalmilitary university headquartered inHaidian,Beijing, China, with constituent and affiliated military academies nationwide. Established in 1985 by amilitary order ofDeng Xiaoping, the university is under the "institutional leadership" of theCentral Military Commission.

The current president of the university isPeople's Liberation Army (PLA) general Xiao Tianliang.[2] Its current political commissar is vice admiralXia Zhihe.[3]
The National Defense University originated from the Red Army teaching team founded byMao Zedong inJinggang Mountains in 1927. It has successively experienced the Chinese Workers and Peasants Red Army University and theAnti-Japanese Military and Political University inthe war years, as well as the Higher Military Academy and the Military and Political University after the founding of the People's Republic of China.[citation needed]
In December 1985, by a military order signed by Deng Xiaoping, thenchairman of the Central Military Commission, the National Defense University was established by merging the People's Liberation Army's Military Academy, the Political Academy, and the Logistics Academy.[4][5]
In 2017, a textbook published by the PLA National Defense University called theScience of Military Strategy debuted the potential for biological warfare to include "specific ethnic genetic attacks."[6]
In July 2017, under the chairmanship ofXi Jinping, according to the order of the Central Military Commission, the former National Defense University, the Nanjing Institute of Political Science, the Xi'an Institute of Political Science, the PLA Academy of Art, the PLA Logistics Academy, the Shijiazhuang Ground Force Command Academy, the Armed Police Academy of Political Science, and some departments of the Equipment Academy merged to form the new National Defense University.[7]
The university hosted visitors from Singapore[8] and Australia[9] as well as partnered with foreign firms such asSynopsys fortechnology transfer arrangements.[10]
In 2015, the People's Liberation Army National Defense University formed a think tank called theChina National Security Studies Centre.[11]
Planners at National Defense University project China's spacemilitary actions in space as retaliatory or preventative, following conditions like an attack on a Chinese satellite, an attack on China, or the interruption of a PLA amphibious landing.[12] According to this approach, PLA planners assume that the country must have the capacity for retaliation andsecond-strike capability against a powerful opponent.[12] PLA planners envision a limited space war and therefore seek to identify weak but critical nodes in other space systems.[12]
