Category:Chinese People's Liberation Army

Inconsistency problem:

1. the entire tree is now using PLA.
2. its chinese name 中國人民解放軍's literal translation is indeed Chinese PLA.
3. ministry of defense's and PLA's websites are not consistent. we can see both PLA and Chinese PLA.
4. People’s Liberation Army (Q200106) many non-east-asian langs use PLA, whereas east-asian langs use Chinese PLA.

Questions:

1. Which should the overall cat use?
2. If Chinese PLA is used, should we rename the whole tree?

personally i prefer simply PLA.--Roy17 (talk) 14:21, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

article 2 of Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Garrisoning of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (an official English version of a Chinese law) uses "Chinese People’s Liberation Army". I think it's better to keep the tree consistent.--Roy17 (talk) 13:06, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

Given en:People's Liberation Army (disambiguation), I think it makese sense to use "Chinese People's Liberation Army" for everything. - Themightyquill (talk) 13:41, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

Use "Chinese People's Liberation Army" per Roy17 and Joshbaumgartner. Tibet Nation (talk) 18:43, 3 November 2019 (UTC)

@Roy17: That looks like consensus to me. Would you like to handle to moves? - Themightyquill (talk) 23:53, 21 November 2019 (UTC)

@Themightyquill: sure. I can move all to the new positions. This can be closed now or until I finish moving.--Roy17 (talk) 00:03, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
