Features: Jointly created by China National Radio and authoritative military experts, the military hot topic program "Yinan Military Forum"! On screen, he comments on the dynamics of war for hundreds of millions of ordinary people, telling them that the world today is far from peaceful; at the podium, he analyzes the challenges to China's security for decision-makers in government and military agencies, urging that peace and development require readiness for war; abroad, he speaks to foreign military counterparts about the Chinese people's love for peace and the Chinese military's readiness to win the next war! At the beginning of 2001, a Korean-Chinese name gradually came into view. Through countless interviews, he reveals his keen insight into war and conflict; through numerous commentaries, he thoroughly dissects the complex relationships between major powers; through his writings, he expresses the Chinese military's aspiration for a prosperous and strong nation. He is Jin Yinan, a "Distinguished Professor" at the National Defense University, currently serving as Deputy Director of the Strategic Teaching and Research Department of the National Defense University. Jin Yinan is a thinker whose commentaries are like an invisible sharp sword, challenging traditional concepts and practices of national security, and like a mirror, helping us understand China's security environment. In the process of Japan seeking a permanent seat in the United Nations, many experts, starting from historical perspectives, pointed out that Japan does not qualify for the position. Indeed, this is an important factor. However, Jin Yinan pointed out incisively: with numerous US military bases scattered across Japan, a country that still needs external protection, how can it talk about taking responsibility for international security? During the commemoration of the 600th anniversary of Zheng He's voyages, many media discussed the former glory of Chinese navigation and the spirit of peaceful rise, while Jin Yinan pondered why the maritime ban after Zheng He's voyages made China miss out on great development opportunities. On the 60th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan, Jin Yinan reflected on why so many traitors emerged in China at that time, and why it took until the point of no longer enduring, to finally issue the roar of "Arise, ye who refuse to be slaves." These programs not only attract academic attention but also receive praise from a broad audience. After each program is broadcast, the editorial office receives hundreds of text messages and letters, with everyone expressing a strong sense of urgency and the desire to build a strong defense. These incisive critiques may be harsh, and some may find them difficult to adapt to, but more people gain strength from them! Jin Yinan often says that he is a lookout tied to the mast of the Chinese nation's ship, liking to issue frequent warnings. Although some find them harsh, he still raises his arms to shout, awakening the nation and the country to vigilance! "Yinan Military Forum" is precisely the mast that allows him to issue his calls. By early 2006, "Yinan Military Forum" had already broadcast over 100 episodes, including "Analysis of the Security Situation in the South China Sea," "Focusing on the Diaoyu Island Issue," "Viewing the China-Japan Energy Dispute from the Spring Morning Oil Field Incident," "Perversion of US Global Military Exercises and Strategic Thinking Adjustments," and "Post-Al-Qaida Era." The forum has become a favorite "feast" for listeners nationwide.
