"There are missions in the minds of soldiers, enemies in their eyes, responsibilities on their shoulders and passion in their hearts. There could be a war at any time. Are you ready for this?"

It's called "Battle Declaration" and is the hip-hop style song accompanying the new recruitment video of the People's Liberation Army, the largest fighting force on the planet, published a few hours ago.

The video shows the most advanced weapons of the Chinese army, including J-11 fighters, Type-99A tanks, DF-11 ballistic missiles and the country's first aircraft carrier.

"I roar with an animal spirit. Let's go to war, we'll fight to win. Kill, Kill, Kill."

This is the first time that the Chinese army used the hip-hop style for recruitment videos.

The China Daily states that the text has been revised several times before the government's approval, to avoid appearing too aggressive.

The Chinese army is made up of 2,3 millions of expanding men.
